I really feel like having a library card is going to get me into more trouble...

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104628) • United States 1 Dec 19

To be honest, I got the library card (third edition! ) because I wanted to save money but still be able to read some good books. However, the more I think about it, the more likely it will just be a way to screen the...

Claudia Kirkland Saving money is mostly a wasted idea with me. But I've done well with library books. I haven't bought too many books since I've been using the library, and I've been borrowing mostly ebooks and audio books now, so I can be in the dark and still "read"....
