Although not quilt related, directly it could be indirectly.
I know many of you use your local library for quilting books instead of buying them. I do this also. I was surfing the net looking for a book and ran across this website. http://www.worldcat.org/ you put the title of the book you are looking for in the search and then it will find that book in your nearest library according to your zip code. I found several books that my "local" library doesn't carry, but I can go to the next town over and check them out for free using my local library card because they have a Co-op. Way easier than having to check each libraries catalog one at a time. |
Very cool.
|
omg! thanks so much!! I use the library frequently & am lucky enough to live only 3 blocks from the local one. This web site will be a great time saver.
|
Thanks for the info!
|
I never knew there was such a thing! Thanks so much.
|
thank you. that is wonderful and handy resource.
|
Thanks!
|
great to know, thanks
|
Thanks so much! :D
I am tired of buying books. This will be great! |
some libraries have inter loan desks that can order the book for you and you can pick it up at your local one without having to go to another town. I love libraries!!!!
also if you have lots of paperbacks and want more but don't want to buy them, you can swap them for postage costs. www.paperbackswap.com does that. post a minimum amount of books and earn points for each book swapped. just a thought. |
