The Little Things
November 8, 2016

I’ve previously talked about my love for goodreads and how it has impacted my reading. I made another addition to my reading that has really stepped up my reading game this year, and it has to do with the Public Library.

In my state there is a program where, for about $65 a year, you can purchase a card which allows you to get a library card at any public library in the state! I had never heard about it before, but Melissa had gotten one a month or two earlier and had told me about it! What a cool idea, right?

I live in an area where the public libraries are fine, but they are smaller so there were many books that I desired to read that just weren’t options, or there would only be one copy of a kindle book, so I’d have to wait 6+ months for some books. No good.

With this new card, I now have library cards at multiple libraries in bigger cities so I can put holds in at the places that will get me the books the fastest. No waiting 6 months, and I have far more access to books.

With my kindle, I don’t even have to go to the libraries that are a bit further away because I can put on holds and check out books from my couch!

I’ve LOVED it and has made reading an even more joyful and easy experience.

I know there are other states out there that have similar types of cards, so I wanted to share this with all of you and encourage you to ask your local public library to see if it is an option.

I don’t love spending money, but that $65 feels so incredibly worth it! I think public libraries are such a cool option, and I feel good about putting a little money towards supporting them as well.

Now it’s your turn to share! Tell me one thing that you love about reading! Do you regularly use the library?
