articles of interest: July 2008 Archives
The Consumerist recently ran an article entitled 7 Ways Your Public Library Can Help You During A Bad Economy. It's a pretty decent article that states a lot of the obvious things we know, but what I found really interesting were the comments added to the post by readers. Here's a sample:
And they have databases where you can find investment info, info about a company you might want to work for, and even databases of car repair information.and...
You can even get software from some libraries - programs that will help you build a deck, for example.
and...
You forgot one of the best ones! Free computers and internet use! I saved $50 a month for a year by not giving into Comcast and using the internet only at work and, when needed, the library.
And there are lots more. It lifted my spirits to think of all of the library lovers out there, and I hope it will lift yours, too.
