I really enjoy my Kindle, which sits next to my bed for a little reading before bedtime. But I also like to read books on my iPhone and just this week I finally saved up enough to buy an iPad and am enjoying reading my books there too. I don’t have a lot of time for reading but it something I enjoy and I try to squeeze in a few minutes a day and a little more on Sundays, my day off.

Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

Barnes & Noble Summer Reading program We are all about the books here in our house. I am a book worm myself and make sure to take a little time each day to read even if that means 15 minutes while waiting in the car while picking up the kids from school. And I think it is equally important that my children read every day too or be read to them. My 6 year old twins are beginning readers and it such a joy to see them get excited about learning new words and reading on their own.

Summer vacation is going to be here before we know it (June 3rd for us). And that means a whole lot of “Mom I am bored” so to combat summer boredom get your kids involved with a great summer reading program at Barnes & Noble.

Open to children in 1st through 6th grade. When they read eight books over the summer (they have till 9/6/11) and record them in a journal they will receive a FREE book. The journal must be taken into a Barnes & Noble store and your child will be allow to select a book from a select group of pre-approved books

Download the journal here

Find a Barnes & Nobel store here

Download a parents activity sheet here

Download an educator kit here

Don’t have a Barnes & Noble store near you, check your local library to see if they are running a summer reading program too. Most libraries have a program that runs over the summer too.

Check it out! Public library can be a money saver

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Your local library can be a great money saving spot to put in your arsenal of ways to save money. Everyone can obtain a library card for FREE. All that is usually required is proof of address.

Here are some of the many ways you can save by utilizing your library:

  • Instead of purchasing books, borrow them instead. If your library does not carry the book you are looking for speak to a librarian to see if they have a way of obtaining the book you want. Most libraries can do what is called an inter library loan by which your library borrows a book from another library.
  • Borrow DVD’s and CD’s. Most libraries carry a nice selection of movies and music which you can check out for loan for free.
  • Catch up on your favorite magazines and newspapers by borrowing them from the library. Sometimes the newspapers are not available for check out, but you can still read them there at the library.
  • Cut your internet bill by using the computers at the library. If you don’t have a computer at home or are considering the need to cut this bill from your budget you can still access the internet from your library. Most libraries have a time limit and waiting times can be long for heavy use times, but if you just want to pop online once in a while to do some research or check emails this can be a viable option.
  • Print, copy and fax. Many libraries offer the use of printers, copiers and fax machines often for a nominal charge of 5-10 cents per page. This is usually cheaper than using a service like Kinkos.
  • Learn something or just while away a few hours by taking advantage of the classes, art shows, lectures, story times (for children), book clubs and other activities offered at most libraries. To find out what is offered at your library just ask a librarian for a calendar of events or check online.

I am fortunate to live right behind the library and my children and I spend on average 5-10 hours a week at the library checking out books and movies and taking part in the free activities offered there. If you don’t know where your local library is check out publiclibraries.com
