Libraries everywhere

Seems almost everyone desert city here has a new library each offering lots of internet access (some with wireless) and concerts, readings, one-act plays,etc. We went to La Quinta's library yesterday for their book sale and got a load of books for $7. The price is right...25 cents for paperback, 50 cents for hardback, DVD's, CD's, videos and can you believe 5 cents for children's books!

Lots of deals around. There's a 10 theatre movie house that offers movies for $2 and $1 before 6pm and Tues. Top run movies too. We saw Pride and Prejudice last night and really enjoyed it. Thought Elizabeth was great and loved the earthy country scenes. One thing about movies this cheap and also with a PG rating is families come with their kids. They were well behaved even though some were very young...it was quite cute really...getting them hooked on Jane Austen early.
