Dust Off Your Library Card If you can no longer justify paying $22 for the latest hardcover, request the book at your local library... and some offer much more than books. Your local branch might allow you to:
1. Borrow newly released movies, the latest cable-TV shows on DVD, and CDs.
2. Download e-books from your library’s website. The loan period is usually two weeks.
3. Listen to podcasts of library lectures you don’t have time to attend.
4. Try out a Kindle, the new handheld e-book from Amazon (retail price: $359).
5. Check out puzzles and games, like Clue, Monopoly, and Yahtzee.
6. Borrow a museum pass. Many city libraries have city passes, which will get you into local attractions, including zoos, aquariums, planetariums, and more for free.
7. Get free delivery. Some libraries can send books, games, and CDs to you via a mail-order program.
