The Library - Much more than stuffy old books

In honor of National Library week, I felt an article about the library was in order for the Tip of the Week. As much as I've benefited from my library, the least I can do is share those benefits with others who may not know about them. If you haven't visited the Library in a while, you may be surprised. About 3 years ago I wandered into the library looking for something that I now can not recall. I was surprised at what I found.

The Library has a wealth of services available to you - all for free. Aside from checking out books, some of the programs the Library in my area offers are:

• Computers with productivity software and internet access
• Magazines
• DVD & VCR Movies
• Computer workshops (how to use software programs)
• Various programs for kids for babies to preschool
• Activities & Book clubs for Teenagers & Adults
• Family Game Nights

I'm sure you now see why I'm putting this information in a debt reduction blog. Utilizing your neighborhood library, you may check out movies for a movie night, sign up for Computer Classes, or bring the kids in for game night - All at no cost to you! So head out to your library today, and go ahead and cancel those magazine subscriptions. They have plenty of them for you to read while you're there renting your next movie. Too bad they don't supply the popcorn......
