Works For Me Wednesday

This is my first Works For Me Wednesday post & probably my last (I'm not that ingenius), we'll see.





Many (hopefully not all) of you will already know this trick but I just figured it out a couple months ago. I love to read, don't want to buy every book on my list & don't have the time to spend at the library browsing & searching. With the help of the internet & my library card, I can access my library's online catalogue, place a hold on the books I want, wait for their email telling me my book(s) are ready and then simply pick them up at the counter. Voila. I can also re-check them out from the comfort of my own home. Works for me!

Oh, one more thing, did you know that your library card also doubles as a windshield ice scraper? I don't recommend using this alternate feature unless it is an emergency (like you are trying to pick your child up from school on time and your window defroster is not working fast enough & you have no ice scraper in your car)! :)

I love how easy it is to get things from the library! The online catalog is very easy to use and I love being able to recheck my books without going into the library! Plus, the fact that there are no late charges is a great bonus! I am always late getting my books turned back in!

As a girl from Cali going to college in Nebraska, I learned the credit card ice scrapper trick real quick! :)
