The library is such a great resource for everyone, especially families. You can get free kids rentals, tons of great books and there's always something going on. Right now they have a contest for some Wiggles tickets, there's a summer literacy camp and they often have special events. We love the library, I read a lot and we read to my daughter all the time. We still buy books, but with her we go through so many that it's nice to be able to get a big variety and pick our favourites! Also for grownups the movie rentals aren't too expensive and they keep adding all kinds of great movies and tv shows - I was surprised to see that they have Deadwood, United States of Tara etc. and it's cheaper than renting from a video store because with a tv show you usually get several discs as one rental! ![]()
What is your favourite thing about the library?

Oh we are at the library weekly. We really started using it when we were homeschooling and our love has blossomed from there.
I love the programs and my oldest daughter is actually reading off her fines, which means she gets to keep her allowance
The online feature is great as well to reserve, request and renew your books without making a trip if it gets to busy.

I love my online list - wish it could be more than 35 waiting since some I'm #100+ etc. Such a neat feature though, nice not to have to drive around to get exactly what you want. How can you read off your fines?

Did you know that you can download certain books to your kindle, ipod, computer etc as well from the library site?
Pretty cool idea if you don't feel like leaving your house! -

When my oldest daughter was growing up, she absolutely loved her books...favourite gift of all. Now, her oldest son who's 5 is following in her footsteps. Given a choice of activities, he'll always choose to go to the library therefore this is one thing that Grandma (me) can do with him that I know he's gonna love !

Only the kids can read off their fines and they have to be maxed out
So my son couldn't do it because he only owed a couple of dollars. -

I love the library too! I've always got books on the go, and I love that they are pretty up to date with the television series/movies that they have. They are also much, much cheaper than renting at the store (as you pointed out), and you can usually get an entire season of a cable show for $2!

Audio books are great for long road trips when you're going on summer vacation, and the library has quite a few good ones.
My husband and I have listened to audio books a couple of times, thought they might put me to sleep but not at all. Our son usually watches dvds on a portable dvd player that doesn't use the car stereo for sound, so he has headphones for his movie and we get to listen to audio books! -

I agree. I still prefer to research and pick books on library's bookends than the internet because I am sure that information on books are more reliable and validated.

It's in fact very complicated in this active life to listen news on Television, thus I just use web for that reason, and take the latest information.

I seldom leave a response, however I browsed a few of the responses here Winnipeg Library - Save money in winnipeg.
I do have a couple of questions for you if you tend not to
mind. Is it just me or do a few of the responses come across as if they
are written by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are posting at other sites, I would like to keep
up with everything new you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your public sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile? -

Begin strength training... When you build lean
muscle, you turn into a fat burning machine.
You'll be burning fat even while your sleeping. -

I am extremely impressed with your writing skills as well
as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did
you customize it yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it's rare to see a nice blog like this one today.
