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!

I have donated books to our library. I love to read and it is a great place to get the benefits of reading . What agreat idea for others to learn about.

I've been doing this for years. My husband buys books all the time and has bookcases full of them because he says he likes to read them again. I think he's just too lazy to go to the library though. You can always check the same book out again if you want to read it over. We wouldn't need such large houses if we'd quit storing stuff we don't need.

I visit my local libraries at least once a week. Nice to have another avid reader among my Sparkfriends :)
