I know that a lot of people are currently scaling back on their expenditures. But I've also noticed that some people just don't seem to know some of the stuff that is already available often free.
For example, the public library. Now, I'm pretty sure that everyone has been to the library at one time or another, but I've also found out that very few people go regularly, which is a real surprise. The library has so much to offer, and all of it is free (well I haven't been charged for anything)! Besides books, you can check out DVDs, CDs, read current magazines, use the free Wi-Fi, use the library's computers to browse the internet, get help in researching a topic, use a meeting room, view the art exhibits. All of it 100% free. Not only that, they make it easy, too.
One of my favorite ways of getting books is to reserve them on line. Once the the book becomes available, it is shipped to the branch of you choice and the send you a notice when it's ready for pickup. I just stop on my way home once a week, return last weeks books and get any new ones. It's easy, fast (in and out in under 5 minutes), and a great way to read books that I probably wouldn't have bothered to purchase. I've done the same with DVDs, too.
So, if you live in Tucson, check out the great work that your public library is doing. It is downright amazing. (If you live elsewhere, I bet your hometown library does a great job, too.)
