We became members of this library this year since there is so much great material to borrow. It cost $30 for a 6 month out-of-town membership and we feel we have our money's worth already. Last week we picked up the made for TV series Lonesome Dove and really enjoyed it as well as Cold Comfort Farm and a Hitchcock we hadn't seen before called Foreign Correspondent...a little hokey but very watchable. Jim's spotted all sorts of interesting material relevant to teaching. We've also started watching a super documentary called Cadillac Desert which focuses on the diverting of rivers to supply the whole southern California area with water.
As well as loads of videos and DVD's they have the Vancouver Sun and The London Times and various free concerts and lectures. And of course computers with Internet access and wireless throughout. We're lucky we are currently poaching on an open connection in our condo but otherwise these services would have been essential to keep us connected. They have a used bookstore with lots of great bargains and a coffee shop.
Each community down here has a super library and Saturday morning we'll be heading to La Quinta Library for their book sale. We got there at the tail end of it last year and there were still great deals.
