I Love Our Library

Have you visited your library lately?

Most have summer reading programs for the kiddos to help keep them educationally active.

I love ours because I can reserve books online and pick them up when they are ready. I can even wait a couple of days to pick them up while more become available or until I get in there. Usually about once a week or week and a half. I am so grateful for this service, as having three small children in tow can be quite challenging.

But, I'm especially lovin' my library today because I scored a book for $0.50 that I've had on my wishlist at Amazon!

~You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay

I also picked up an interesting read at the same price. Double Yeah!

~A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines

"This majestic, moving novel is an instant classic, a book that will be read, discussed and taught beyond the rest of our lives." -- Chicago Tribune

I can't wait. So, what do you love about your library? Hmmm...

Luck

Although I don't remember it very often and it is something I need to work on, but I love it when I realize how lucky I can get sometimes. A couple of weeks ago I snagged a classic at the library for my little ones. I couldn't resist. It is a classic. Or at least I think it is. Here is the lucky part. The kiddos started school last week and on Friday my son brings home his first homework assignment. He's in Pre -K. Please work with your children on the following sight words. This will help them have a head start in kindergarten. Thank you so much for your cooperation! go at here down and These same words are all throughout this short and sweet board book. Go and See . It's perfect! I hope to find more of these gems.

A More Economical Way to Acquire and Recycle Books

I love books. I almost think that I’m a book-a-holic because I drool over and snap up books like some women do shoes. Like many, as the economy dives, I’ve had to cut back from my usual book buying haunts in search of cheaper and more economical resources. In the beginning, I went cold turkey and started to get any book that I wanted from the library – test drive it to see if I really wanted it. Then I really started to pay attention to the library’s annual book sales and, of course, the books that they have for sale in the foyer every day. Can’t go wrong with $1.00 hard cover and $0.50 paperbacks! I’ve gotten many ‘steals’ from browsing this selection. Unfortunately, the selection can be quite limiting. Thankfully, I stumbled upon a new and upcoming online bookswap service called BooksfreeSwap.com. It was created earlier this year as an easier way to swap books and audiobooks online. Swap as in, FREE! Here is how it works: Create a free account and create your o
