Library

Welcome to your local library! The place where you can get the lastest books, CD's, and DVD's for free. Yes, I said FREE!

Ok there are those skeptics who say that the library never has what you want when you go. Well did you know that you can log into the libraries website and request things to be sent to your local branch and be held there for you to pick up. You may not know this but there are others out there that do, take it from an insider (in my previous life I was employed with the Lorain Public Library).

The library even gets movies on the same Tuesday release date the stores get them, but the secret is that people can put them on hold about 2 months before they come out. So those new movies circulate from hold to hold before making it to the shelf. So to maximize the benefits of this system you just need to log in and request everything you might want to watch. For the sake of saving the money in rental fees, you just need to be flexible on what movie you watch at any given time, (they don't always come when you expect). It's a sacrifice I am willing to make considering rental fees, and OMG movies ticket prices are outrageous these days.

So find your local library website:

Cuyahoga County Library
Cleveland Public Library
Rocky River Public Library
Avon Lake Public Library

(Most of the other library systems are connected to Cleveland PL so just use thier link, if you need help let me know)

Request away!

Now if you would prefer to call you can usually get the information desk to request up to 5 titles a day. Keep in mind though, you can typically only put 50 titles on request at a time. Haha yup 50!

Now get busy supporting your local library!
