Stop buying magazines, newspapers, books, dvd’s and cd’s - use your local library instead. Your library already purchases many of these items with your tax - make good use of it. Recycling a purchased book these can be checked out make one book get a thousand uses. Libraries also house free programs, reference services and many other services. Make good use of this resource and be part of your community through your library.

As the parent of a college student going to school to become a librarian I appreciate your tip! People often over look the resources right in their own library! Not to mention that librarians are often your best search engines around! Most libraies now offer computes, internet, dvd’s cd’s, videocassettes, audio books and downloadable books! Along with programs for toddlers toadults, along with bookclubs. Many libraries have yeary book sales..so if you feel the need to “buy” you can purchase used books at bargain prices. Our local library has carts with withdrawn books up for the taking donations accepted. Libraries rock!
