FREE Seems To Be The Catch Word

Have you noticed all the advertisements on television about free stuff? And you hear about it on the radio, also. When I signed into Yahoo this morning, there were flashing signs about free stuff. So, I checked out a few "free stuff" websites.
There are freebies for bloggers, businesses, and families. There are free graphics, postcards and e-cards, prizes and contests, as well as seasonal stuff. And not to leave out all of those who use computers, there are free screensavers, technical support, and web space.
There's anything you want out there that's free, as long as you look in the right spot.
Well, I thought, we have free stuff right here in this library and at the Doerun library, also. (See, I told you once before, I always seem to get around to the library when I see or read or hear
things.)
Lately, we've had stacks of free magazines. They are coming in by box loads. We put them on the long counter at the front of the reading area. You can have as many as you want. All kinds...Gourmet, Southern Living, The Workbench, Architectural Digest, etc. Of course, some of them go faster than others.
We also have newspapers that you can read for free. You don't even have to subscribe to one. Just come in and sit in our lovely reading area, on one of those soft couches, and read till your heart's
content.
There is also free WiFi if you bring in your laptop. We only ask that you sit in the computer area at the special table that's provided for laptop users.
And our meeting rooms are free, also. There's the big auditorium and the small conference room (which we are still trying to renovate). You need to reserve one at the circulation counter, but they are free to use. Don't cost you a single penny!
Well, we have more free stuff, but you get the idea.
In fact, we have a free library card. All you have to do is fill out our application and you're set to use everything in our library...free...DVDs, VHSs, papermade books, audio books, etc. Even our genealogy library and the restrooms are free to use. There are plenty of tables and chairs you can use when you want to study or write a letter. And several times a year, we have free puzzles to work.
Now, how much more free stuff in one spot could you ask for? Aren't we great?
