Did you know that you can borrow more than just books from your local public library these days? This is great news for anyone looking to save some extra money, so you should definitely take advantage of your library if possible.
For instance, the library in my community is TINY. In fact, I often go to other libraries in neighboring communities instead because I have a much better chance of finding what I’m looking for. But even my library has a bunch of other things to borrow.
Just off the top of my head, I know that patrons can borrow MP3 players in order to listen to borrowed audibooks. How cool is that? Now you don’t even need your own iPod in order to listen to free audiobooks! In addition, patrons can borrow things like puzzles, video games, DVDs, CDs, and even an engraving pen.
So the next time you need a piece of equipment just for one quick project, check with your library before you buy. You might be surprised at what they have — all of which you tax dollars pay for!
