What people are saying about their library card

People like the services available with a free library card during these economic times.
My wife and I had just created a blended family and money was tight. Teenagers (four, off and on) wanted to rent movies, etc and we needed choices. We couldn't afford cable (they got a second phone line instead) and couldn't go off and rent, rent, rent movies. The library provided us with choices: for school research, music, entertainment...all on a limited budget.
Recently I had to take a license test for a boiler license. The books I checked out helped a lot! I am 61 and have a card from the time I was in the third or fourth grade.
My library card is my passport to adventure and pleasure. I always get a copy of Bookpage at my branch library (Summit) and without my library card the books featured would be beyond my means to purchase, but it I can experience a wide variety of adventure and knowledge. It's kind of like a credit card that never sends a statement. Keep up the good work and thanks abundantly.
I love my library card!!! Before I knew about the library I thought you had to pay if you wanted to check out a book so when I want a movie or a book I can get a movie for free-- it's better than having to pay like $10.00 just to rent a movie. I love the staff that work there. They are so nice.
The new music collection is much better than most people think - pretty much any CD you can find at the store is here. WorldCat is great, too - you have access to rare books from around the world. I play the piano, and WorldCat lets me borrow rare music without having to pay through the nose for it.
I never buy a new fiction book with borrowing it first from the library and reading it.-- in fact I rarely buy fiction - I just check it out from the library. I have had a library card for as long as I can remember and I'm 58 years old.
