When I was a kid, we used to go the library almost every Saturday. This practice slowly died out as I hit my teenage years and I only briefly checked out books to read for pleasure in college. For most of my post college years, I’ve been buying books that I wanted to read, either from Amazon or Half Price Books. I’ve recently resumed my volunteer teaching for Austin Free-Net at the Riverside Branch Library and with it, have rediscovered the library itself. I temporarily forgot about this great deal where you can borrow a book, read it, and then return it at no cost. Wow. Who woulda thunk? It’s especially cool as it seems that the books that I’m interested in (like the Current Read) don’t seem to be the hot items at my local branch. I’m having no trouble finding things that I’ve been wanting to read, but didn’t want to shell out the cash for. I’m also hoping to get The Boy addicted the way I was at his age.
