Greetings from Plumb Library, welcome to BookRemarks, a monthly feature focusing on all things library related.
Did you know that November is “Use Less Stuff Month?” So, what does this have to do with the Library, you may be wondering. Well, a great way to “use less stuff” is to start (or return to) using the Library. We have lots of things to loan out that won’t take up any more room in your house or put a dent in your budget. Your next great read doesn’t need to come from Barnes & Noble. Check out what’s available on the New Shelf at the Library instead. A new audiobook for your commute can be found on Hoopla, instead of paying for Audible. All those magazine subscriptions piling up on the coffee table are expensive and just end up in the recycling bin. Don’t renew them this year and instead, see what titles are offered in the Library’s collection, or download the latest issue from Libby. Tickets to zoos and museums are pricey and memberships are only used occasionally. Discounted or free passes are available from the Library. Kids need a weekend activity? Try a MOBY pack for an outside adventure or take home the telescope, ukulele, or snowshoes before you spend money on something that may end up in a closet at home. The Library also has some great books on home organization and downsizing. Let us help you be on your way to a less stuff-filled life.
As always, your Library Staff, Kristen, Jen and Lisa are here to help you find what you need. Feel free to call (508-763-8600) or email us (info@plumblibrary.com) with any questions. Better yet, come by and say hello.
