Every summer I pick up a new TV series that I never originally got into and binge watch it.  Last year was Breaking Bad.  This year is The Sopranos.  I’m fifth on the reserve list of two copies for season one, disc one; but after that first disc, the rest are usually pretty easy and quick to reserve and pick up.
I made a library post as my Frugal Picture of the Week last week at teachingdowndebt.wordpress.com.  Feel free to check out if you’ve wandered back in time to read this post :)

 @DC @ Young Adult Money Oh!  Thanks for the heads up.  This is the only place I’ve commented that uses Livefyre, so I guess I didn’t have the account fully set up.  How did you change your name?  I wasn’t able to select a username that had spaces or symbols, so this is my twitter username.  Googling the full “unique gifter” should bring up my site, but I doubt that ugifter will unfortunately.

 @Eyesonthedollar I did a little bit of work at the reference desk back at college, so I know what you are talking about!  You almost make me miss writing research papers :0

 @OneSmartDollar Yeah it’s crazy they offer free ebooks.  I don’t have a tablet or e-reader but if I did I would totally just download books.

If you have kids, it’s great entertainment between story time, crafts, and the kids area. Our library also does intralibrary loan with CSU. Not that it applies to most people, but I have to do referenced case reports for a fellowship I am pursuing. I need usually about 20 per report. If you order online, they are about $12 each, but I can get any article I need free from the public library. Lotta love for the library!

 @Money Life and More You should just request them and then they will be waiting for you.  It’s so much easier.  But we get quite a bit and go just about every week since we get all our books/magazines/DVDs from there.
