Thanks for the info

I just checked my library. They have the Spark book in hardcopy and audiobook formats. I like audiobooks, I think I'll give it a shot.

Also check if your library participates in the Interlibrary Loan system. It is awesome. You can check a catalog of items available at other libraries around the country. If you find something you want, you make a request and if it is available and that library loans that item, you get it in a couple of weeks.

What a great idea! It really would be a "Try Before You Buy" method!! Thank you!

Very true, used their movie collection alot when my kids were little.

I do this a lot! I love being able to give them a test run before I spend the money on something that's not for me. I even accidentally discovered they have the Spark workout DVDs at mine.

Thanks for the idea; I never thought of the library for help!

saving money on e-books

do you have a nook or kindle if so check your local library out they may have a free app from which you can download books. my library gives me two weeks to read them . They also have audio books available. sometimes you have to wait for the newer books but they will send you an email when the book is ready for you to download. this idea also saves gas, time, and money

Use Your Public Library!

I love books, I inhale books...I have boxes and boxes of books. One day it dawned on me that I can read all the books I want for free! And I don't need to find a place to store them after I have finished.
I actually found THE SPARK at the library and I'd have never become a member had it not been for the library and it didn't cost a penny!

THAT'S double the incentive for me!
