I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before. (Actually, I didn't think of it this time — it was Zoe's idea.) There are a number of books I've been wanting to read but haven't been able to afford. The Freeland Library comes to the rescue. The Freeland Library is pretty small but they are part of the Sno-Isle Libraries system, which covers Island and Snohomish counties. What makes this great is the Sno-Isle Libraries website. I can search from home and put a hold on any book in the library system which is then delivered to the Freeland Library for me to pickup. I can track my books on hold and checked out. I can renew online. If the Sno-Isle system doesn't have the book I can order it and they will try to get it from another library system or order the book. It worked for Zoe. I'm trying it for a Harry Callahan book. Everone reading this probably alread knew this but, if you didn't, you might check out your local library. Free books! Who knew?
