Literary Adventure

So today I went and got a library card. I know it may seem odd, but it's a good way to read books without having to pony up any cash for them. Most of the books I own I rarely read more than once anyway so why shell out my hard earned cash at some bookstore when I can rent the book for free? It only took a moment and I discovered that on Fridays you can get a free cup of coffee, tea or cocoa if you go before noon. How neat! Of course I got my free cup of goodness and even found a book to read. I checked out "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger. Yeah it's a classic, one some have been forced to read for one English class or another, but I never had to read it and thought I'd check it out. I really wanted 1984, but it wasn't in. So now I can catch up on some classics that for some reason I missed out on reading and in a be eco & financially friendly.

With all the big bookstores and the almighty Amazon.com I think libraries have fallen by the wayside. They are great resources and have more than just books now. Hell I can check online and see if the book I want is in, put it on hold for me, or renew a book I've already got all before setting foot into the building. As antique as they may seem libraries are pretty with it technology-wise. I recommend giving one near you a look see.
