Yeah that’s right. I love it.
The last time I went to the library to actually check something out must have been in high school at some point. So it has been a while. I can’t remember how, why, or when I joined the library, but I have the card in my wallet.
I was doing a very good job of spending JonBon’s money at Barnes and Noble, as well as getting them shipped to me from Amazon. It was starting to add up, so I figured I would try to cut expenses and give it a go. I started with getting a few books and CDs from the library. The best part is how easy and convenient that it is. All you have to do is go online, put in your card number and request that the book arrive at any branch that you want. Usually just a few days later you will get an email telling you your book is ready for pick up. I just stop by on my way home, and grab the books that already have my name printed on a slip of paper. It’s fast, easy, and best of all free!
Now my mother has been doing this for years, and I guess maybe this is one time when I was actually behind her on something. Hey we pay taxes for libraries, might as well use them right?
HAHA! Your extreme obsession with the library lately is out of control! You can walk with my mom to the library and each carry your slips that say your books have arrived and are on hold for you. She also has a special bookbag that she carries to hold her library books. I can get you a matching one.
Jon is right. Free is the operative word!
My latest craze is the ILL or Interlibrary Loan. I can get
any book in print. In Hamilton Co. OH, an ILL book cost
the price of shipping it from one library to another
Here in PA.. they don’t charge for shipping. Good thing…. many of
my books come from out of the area. One of my recent requests
came from Mississippi and another from CA.
