If you have a Kindle and are interested in saving money, you don’t need to sign up for Kindle Unlimited or by e-books. You can use the Libby app! Make sure you have your library card handy, and download the Libby app to your phone, tablet, or computer. You can then find the Erie County Public Library and enter your card. Then search for the book(s) you want to read. You then have the option of reading in the Libby app on your device or send it to your Kindle. For the step-by step process, check here: Getting Started with Libby. You can also get a card at the Crawford County Federated Library System. The Cambridge Springs Library is right in front of Riverside Brewing. The Free Library of Philadelphia offers online library card applications to residents of PA with online verification. The Carnegie Library offers online library card applications to PA residents, but you need to verify them in person. Remember, though, that the Erie County Library should be your first choice for borrowing e-books to boost those numbers!

Another great way to save money is by shopping at the Great American Book Sale this week. I really can’t say I saved money considering how many books I purchased, but I’ll be entertained for quite a while.

Don’t forget our Stay Engaged page with links to schedules for all organization and government meetings that are library related.

Most importantly, don’t forget our fundraising site: go.rallyup.com/kolp.

“I read it a lot, whenever I find it in a library. Partly because I find new things every time I read it, but also because these BOOKS are always there for me. All of them are there for me. My life changes all the time, but books don’t change. My reading of them changes—I can bring new things to them each time. But the words are familiar words. The world is a place you’ve been before, and it welcomes you back.”
