Let Your Library Entertain You

Why pay for a books and other entertainment that you can them free by visiting your local library? To be sure, you've probably helped buy those library materials anyway through taxes. You might as well benefit from them, right?

When compared to the cost of buying or renting movies, books and magazines elsewhere, it's kind of an obvious choice for saving your hard earned money.

Renting movies can cost $3.00 or more per rental at the local video store. Netflix offers rental plans from $4.99 per month. Buying movies can be costlier still. Compare:

MediaTitleBuy New (from Amazon.com)Buy Used (from Amazon.com)Borrow from Library
Soft Cover Book$9.32$5.60$0.00
Hard Cover Book$19.67$1.05$0.00
Audio CD$10.99$6.95$0.00
DVD Movie$13.49$.01$0.00
AVERAGES:$13.37$3.40$0.00

Bottom Line:

Save $40.80, $160.44 or more per year.*
(*Individual results will vary. Calculations based on borrowing items from the library once per month instead of buying items at the average prices noted above and assumes library materials are returned on time.)
