When’s the last time you visited your local library? If it was when you were six years old, then you’re sadly missing out on all the cool upgrades going on at the book bank. First, let me point out that you can reserve books from the comfort of your home PC (or work, if the boss is relaxed). All you need is your library card. They’ll even send you an e-mail when the book is ready. You can browse, select the library to which you’d like the book to be sent and, voila! Pick up the book on YOUR schedule. Oh yes, it’s all free–unless you can’t return your books on time… Happy reading!

I’d also like to thank our neighbors over at The Sac Rag for pointing out that you can now check out e-versions of many of the latest books. Check out the new digital collection.

If you’re not a reader, you might be surprised that the library has many of the latest DVDs, audio books, and more. But then, if you’re not a reader, you’re probably not reading this either. Sigh.
