Library Book Quote:
Stranger, pause and look
From the dust of ages
Lift this little book,
Turn the tattered pages,
Read me, do not let me die!
Search the fading letters finding
Steadfast in the broken binding
All that once was I!
-Edna St. Vincent Millay
Remember when you were a kid and wanted your future job as an adult to be getting paid to watch tv or movies or read books. Some of us as adults are still wishing. Well these jobs are rare, rare, rare. BUT, I do have the next best thing. Read books for free. Yes, I said read books for free. What kind of books, do you ask?…..Waiting for you to ask…. Oh, thank you! You favorite kind, whether it be, romance, mystery, biography, gardening, cookbook, out of print books, etc.
How???? Your local library has a service called Interlibrary Loan.
With this free service, I have been able to read very rare books. No cost to me!!! Plus I can read a book then decide if I may want to add to my collection. Never spend money on a book that turned out to be not what expected.
Library Book Quote:
Books have a way of
finding their way into
our lives, usually,
right when we need
them the most.
-Christian Marotti
FREE BOOKS:
Here are terms and info from my local library:
My library has access to 7,000 libraries to borrow from. Yes!!! I have access to books from 7,000 libraries. AMAZING.
I can make a request for a book at my library or while sitting at home in my pajamas. I just go to my library’s website and follow the easy instructions.
All I need is a valid library card and have no overdue books. Oops! I will return that book!
I can request up to five books per week. I can read one book a week, so I'm good.
New books are available after three months of publication. No biggie, who isn’t behind in their reading. Plus there are hordes of books now available to me that I had no access to before. Books that I didn’t even know existed.
Loan period is for six weeks. Thank you as I am a slow reader.
If the book costs less than $15.00, my library may just choose to buy the book and add it to their collection for all. How groovy is that?
***Check your library terms out as they may differ*****
The more you read,
the more things you
will know. The
more that you learn,
the more places
you'll go.
-Dr. Seuss

My family regularly visits our local library - even more in the summer for their annual summer reading program! Love having access to free books!
ReplyDeleteI love to read. This quote really struck a chord with me: "A book is the most effective weapon against intolerance and ignorance".-Lyndon Baines Johnson
ReplyDeleteI will have to look into this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThey know us all by name at our local library. I love that place. I've been looking for a new series to sink my teeth into.
ReplyDeleteMy friend is a librarian. I am sending her this link :)
ReplyDeleteI shared this with many friends. With summer coming and time to read its a great time for this post. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI love reading! I'm not the kind of person who likes to read books more than once, so I always take out books from the library instead of buying them.
ReplyDeleteYay for summer reading at the library! With four kids, it is a life saver, I would spend a small fortune buying books!
ReplyDeleteWe used the library often when my kids were younger. Great place to find all the things you are looking for!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have the Armour Hotdot stuck in my head all day now! LOL I do quite love free books though xD I actually did know about the loaning program between libraries and have used it several times in the past!
ReplyDeleteI am an avid reader and I have made use of our local library on many occasions. It's a treasure trove of reading.
ReplyDeleteWe are a family of readers. This is something to check into.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that I should take my daughter on her first trip to the library.

My kids like heading to the library, its like an adventure for them.
ReplyDeleteMy children love the computer and the Xbox but written works are starting to find a way into their hearts.
ReplyDeleteThese are really wonderful tips. I am a terrible library patron, and need to be better.
ReplyDeleteWow How Cool Is This So Many Books Available At Your Finger Tips Don't Get Any Easier Than This Thank You
ReplyDeleteBooks can take us any place following stories and we also learn a lot from reading.
ReplyDeleteI love books! And I love libraries, it's one of the things I really miss here because there are practically no public libraries in Ecuador. I love the Christian Marotti quote!
ReplyDeleteLove the these quotes and they are so true. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy kids love going to the library, we are going 3X this week!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! The library is an under used resource! I love that I can even get library books on my kindle now!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with this quote, 'Books have a way of
ReplyDeletefinding their way into
our lives, usually,
right when we need
them the most.'
I read Shiva trilogy when I needed the positive motivation and a new approach towards spirituality :)
I love some book quotes! I'm a total book nerd. I saw this one quote on a buzzfeed list of the sort that said "It is likely I will die next to a pile of things I was meaning to read" by Lemony Snicket, that I can totally relate to because I get books faster than I can read them. And I read really fast!
ReplyDeleteLibraries are such an underutilized resource. They're amazing and I have so many happy memories stemming from them.
ReplyDeleteI love to read! I was actually at the library the other day and I took my son and after getting over the fact that he wasn't aloud on the computer he had fun! He looked around and enjoyed being able to look at books. It was awesome!
ReplyDeletewe love to read. We love visiting the library as well
ReplyDeleteLove books, can't really get into my kindle. Library's are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWe have lived here for going on 3 years, we have yet gotten library cards, lol.. We need to do so, walked in there the other week, it was bigger than I thought it would be for a town this small.
ReplyDeleteI love going to the library, I usually check out an average of three to five books a week!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about a few of these things! Now that my oldest is reading we are making the library a regular this summer. Thank you for the quotes!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so long since I have visited a library, I kind of miss it. I will definitely have to visit one soon.
ReplyDeleteI love to read, that is books that interest me. My kids are great readers too.
ReplyDeleteI plan on bringing my girls to the library this summer. I have actually used that program where you can request a book that's available in another library in my state.
ReplyDeleteLibraries are a lost art. I wash mine was bigger!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the quote about books finding their way into our lives. That could not be more true for me at the moment. Great post! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I thought you were going to share some type of app or website, so it's funny that you were talking about the library. It is sad that fewer kids are being brought up to love the library. I practically lived in one growing up. In fact, I worked in one in high school. Libraries and bookstores are fun for me.
ReplyDeleteI love libraries. Every town should have one!
ReplyDeleteI love the library-I love the smell, the old and new books, the whole thing. I grew up in a time when you actually had to go to the library and check out books.
ReplyDeleteI just took my six year old to get his first library card yesterday!! My kids love going to the library!
ReplyDeleteI love my local Library, I pretty much live there... The library is an asset to the community :)
ReplyDeleteI love reading. I actually just bought a kindle since I am done with school and have some spare time to read books that I actually enjoy! It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteNow that most of our bookstores have gone out of business, we frequent our local library more often!
ReplyDeleteSo true. I took reading for granted until I met my stepson. His brain was very under developed and it corresponded to the level of books he was reading. It is such a challenge to get him reading. I love to read but my 1 yr old has a problem with it. =) Blessings to you, Paula.
ReplyDeleteLOVE free books, we are at the library at least 2X a week, it's my kids favorite place!
ReplyDeleteI don't take advantage of our library enough! It really is an amazing resource and reading is so important! Thanks for the great reminder and for getting me excited about reading again!
ReplyDeleteWe're huge library frequenters in my house. They put a lot of fun / useful programs out year round, and the kids always like to pick out their books to take home.
ReplyDeleteI may be a little book obsessed, I keep buying them and then making my husband move them around the country. :)
ReplyDeleteI just fell in love with that Edna St. Vincent Millay quote. I really wanted to share it on my FB page but could not find it on your FB page :(
ReplyDeleteSorry, it's pretty buried, so I put it back on. It's at the top of Poems & Quotes Finder https://www.facebook.com/pages/Poems-Quotes-Finder-Poetry/221708328034198
