Green tip #11: Join your local library
Posted by DavidM in Green tips | 8 January 2007
Books use up large amounts of paper as well as ink and the chemicals used in the bleaching process. Most people read a book only once so buying books is expensive and wasteful.
Libraries stock a wide range of books, are usually free to join and each copy of a book is read many times over.
We joined our locally library in summer and the kids were amazed. My son couldn’t understand how we could take 8 books each without paying.
