Libraries

For all of you joining - Welcome!!
I am all about the inside truth, telling it like it is without the BS.
And also some helpful tips and ideas I want to share with the world.

Libraries, Libraries, Libraries.
God, do you remember being a kid and going to the library was cool? I do - I loved the library! Well maybe because I am a dork. Regardless about a week ago when I was in class listening to another boring presentation the topic about libraries came up. I looked up, knew it was going to be boring and went back to texting my friends and watching the seconds pass by until the class was over. But she mentioned the fact that everything in the library is free to take out. Free...FREE...FREE!!!!
Well being a broke college student, free always sounds good to me! :)
**Side Note
I recently had my (old) laptop crash on me due to a virus that infected my computer thanks from the lovely Limewire. Which for those of you who don't know it a P2P downloading program, similar to Napster. Okay, sorry for sidetracking! So i saved up money and bought a new macbook for myself (which i love!!) and I knew that I needed to download music using Itunes - which costs money.

Okay back to the main point. I realized that Libraries carry audio CDs. CDs that do not carry viruses, CDs that are free to take out. I will admit that i was a bit skeptical about what CDs they would have in stock; but to my surprise they has a lot of recent CDs. To name a few: Foo Fighters, The Killers, Rihanna, Fall Out Boy, Nine In Nails ect ect!
I then realized that I can beat the system and use my library card and go to all the libraries in my area and take out as many CDs my little heart desired for free. HAHAHAHA in your face Itunes!!! So yesterday I went to my town's library and took out about 6 CDs and then I went to the neighboring town and took out about 10 CDs. I just saved myself over $160! And in a recession like this, $160 is a lot of money!
So main point is USE YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY!! If you are tired of buying music off Itunes, most time your library will have the CD you are looking for. Even if you are not looking for music, your libaray is full of books, magazines and endless resources for you.
Also for your information - your library card typically works for all the libraries in your county so don't be afraid to checkout other ones.
Well that is it for now!
Bye :)
