A Book for Your Thoughts?

YOU ARE KILLING ME

You are PAYING for all this with your tax money - USE THEM. Most likely systems will have all 3 or 2 out of 3, so if you aren’t sure call your local library’s reference/information desk and how you can get set-up or started.

Overdrive has a new mobile app called LIBBY I find it easier to use.  It’s the same content as Overdrive just better for mobile.  Overdrive and Libby both let you send items to your kindle as well.  

THEY ARE YOUR DOORWAYS TO KNOWLEDGE!!

Also, when you borrow a book from a library, it generates a tiny payment for the author. Every 6 months or so, @dduane and I get money deposited in our bank accounts; it’s not much, but it’s enough to pay for a utility bill or an order of groceries.

“ For us, everything was a performance. ” A small, private smile catches me off guard and I glance down, hoping he won’t see it. “ Everything poetic.”
