I cannot say enough good things about the library. We get most of our books and movies there. We could get CD's as well, but I'm more afraid of misplacing a CD. Because I have. And we can use the virtual library to download books and audiobooks. Chase participates in the Guys Read book group. And I've been volunteering there along with Sierra while Marina works. I'm helping sort books for the big annual book sale at the end of this week. This satisfies my need for organizing, gives me permission to throw things out that are unusable (except for the old textbooks I've been rescuing), and exposes me to all of the wonderful books people are getting rid of. Really, how can I pass up a fifty cent book? I can't. Which might not be a good thing if you consider how many books already line my shelves, waiting to be read.

I wish we had a good library...not that it is terrible, just very small and it seems most of the books I want have to be ordered in from another library in their cooperative. Now they have cut hours so that they are not open until 11:00 PM and closed on Monday. The times we live in, I suppose.
May your love of books continue to enrich you all your life. I admire how you use the library in your homeschooling. Love, Mom
We've pretty well exhausted our local library. Thankfully they go on buying sprees from time to time. I think they're due for one now.
I love our library system most of the time. A few branches aren't good about checking items in that were returned, so they try to charge a late fee. I don't know if it's a matter of they are overwhelmed/understaffed due to budget cuts or what. Their budget is being cut yet again soon, so one can only wonder. It's not a good place for me to buy used books though. They are way too high on their prices ($2 to $3 and up per hardcover). Still cheaper than buying new, but I can do better at yard sales.
