Joy, it definitely comes at a price, although hidden away in our property tax bill I sometimes forget about it. I do know homeschoolers that live out of district and pay hundreds of dollars to get a card each year. You could of course put that into books instead. I’m sure your at home library rivals many small town libraries.

I am so jealous! Our local library is tiny and offers very little. The nearest big library charged $50 a year to be a member. It’s sad, but even though we’re homeschoolers, we haven’t been the library in a very long time. I guess my excuse could be that we have a lot of books here at home to choose from. But all the same, I covet your library system!

I love our library! I wish we had those Playaways.

Stop by and see me over at Free 2 Be Frugal.

@Adena, Rosetta Stone would be dreamy! Byki is cool, too, but not at that level. It would be hard to adjust to a small library, hopefully they can work in some of the perks now and then. Thanks for stopping in!

@just jennifer, thanks for visiting!

Thanks for the info, some I knew, some I didn’t. I am especially going to check out the foreign language. Our library used to have Rosetta Stone where we could use our card and do their online course from our home. Rosetta Stone I guess no longer offers the license to libraries and I was just talking to our librarian last week and they have been unable to find another alternative. I hope this works out!! I miss big libraries, moved from a city with four story library to a town where my house is bigger than the library, very depressing!!
