>>>>>I have also been using the library more. When there is a book I want to read I check the library first. The problem is that it is small library first with limited selection. They used to have a good inter-library system with other libes in Lake County but that went away with the local budget cutbacks.

I am trying to make her go to the library more, but she "needs" to own the books, I asked her to use her darn Kobo reader, but she "needs" to turn pages for that is the essence of the book, now after donating hundreds of books from when she was a baby/child, still there is no room in her bedroom, I am desperate, I begged her to watch more TV and play more video games!! :)

I know I should make the transition. A Kindle can be taken a thousand places a heavy book can't. Old habits die hard.
