I found several movies that I have wanted to rent from Blockbuster (at 4 bucks a pop) that I can rent for free from the library. Don’t forget DVDs and videos.

Whenever I go to the library, I get several books in hardcopy and a few on tape to listen to when I'm in the car. It usually beats the radio blah, blah, blah. In fact, when I took a big road trip last fall, I took along 6 books on tape. You can keep them for 3 weeks, so I had plenty of time to return them after traveling.

I couldn't find some of them, so I went to the library and found all of them that I was looking for... like you said, without spending a dime. That was the same summer I read all of the Narnia books for free. I think with our internet friendly life these days, we forget to walk to the library and touch a free book!! Bonus, we get to talk to the librarian, bump into someone walking out while we're walking in, say "excuse me", smile, move on... etc. Ahhh, the simplicities of life that we forget!! Have a great day!! Cyndee Hey John,
