Advice for Life: Get a Library Membership

A library membership is one of the best values for money out there.  In my city, an annual membership is only $12 - less than the cost of one book!  Not only will a library membership save you money, but it also helps save the environment - think of all the trees being saved with hundreds of people reading one book instead of each buying a book. 

A library membership also exposes you to books you would otherwise never read.  A colleague of mine frequently checks out coffee table books on a variety of subjects - space, wildlife, travel, crafts, etc. that she leaves out for her family to read.  What a great way to expose yourself and your family to new ideas at very little cost - so get a library membership today!

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers." Charles W. Eliot, The Happy Life, 1896
