I have lots of praise for our library systems. I have always loved to read and remember patronizing the library even as a young child. I never realized how much help the library could be until recently when I had computer troubles.

I posted a while back about having to go to the library to use a computer. Well, now I have my computer back and it's working really well. I'm determined to learn more about computers and to learn to build a better web site. (mine really is pretty pitiful technically.)

I've read 4 computer books already! Now, our city wide library system is having a Friends of the Library book sale and we went yesterday. I picked up 12 computer books for $20. Library Resources I'm really glad to get them. I didn't buy anything outdated. Oh, my husband bought a Windows 98 book because we have an old computer with 98 on it. He wants to tinker around with it, I think.

We have a small library in our little town but I usually go into the city because there is a Panera Bread restaurant right next door. Library Resources

If you don't use your library, I'd highly recommend it. My grumpy husband has even enjoyed going and reading automotive repair books. Library Resources

I hope my post isn't boring but I'm really excited about my book purchases. Library Resources

Wow what a deal you got. I don't use the library enough. I wish they were open Sunday's so I could have access to them. Thanks for the suggestion as I think this is an overlooked resource. Keep on reading and good luck with the website. I'll bet it really isn't "pitiful".

The library here is open on Sunday, just shorter hours. I really do need to learn a lot more about these computers and web building. When I run a check on my site it comes up with tons of errors. lol. I usually don't even understand what the error is. Library Resources Guess I'll be studying a lot.

It would be great too, if I could remember the stuff I learn. lol. Oh well, trying to learn new stuff is supposed to help ward off the Alzheimer's disease which is rampant in my family.

Hope you get to visit the library soon. I think it's a calming place as well as a great resource.

The site eat posts! Preposterous! Library Resources

I used to hang out at the library all the time! I would love to be able to go to the library often, again..but the parking (yes, even handicapped spots) are way away from the buildings now (counter terrorism efforts?) that I just cannot walk in TO the library and IN the library the same day!

Read a book for me, Ozzie! (But you could find the code info on the net?)

I really like hanging out at the library too. We have easy chairs and lots of magazines. They have lots of computers to use too. Library Resources

Are you still taking it easy? Don't over do anything.
