The Personal Finance Advice blog recently wrote a column about The Many Ways Your Library Can Save You Money, which is absolutely true!
The list several items beyond books which you can borrow, such as books on tape, videos, and CDs. They remind readers that the library also offers magazines (they say most libraries don't lend magazines, but my local public liraries *do* lend them), free Internet access, and entertainment for children (such as story hours).
The "similar posts" list on the right of the post offers more ideas to save money at the library.
Nice to see libraries promoted in this way!

Video & Audio for Learning
A friend highly recommends the Teaching Company video & audio files for learning new things.
She has listened to tapes on Science & Religion which were interesting & informative & accurate.
I searched the wmrls catalog for material produced by the Teaching Company and was thrilled to see almost 300 entries!
These include a six-video collection entitled Algebra 1 & 2 ; you can borrow both the video and a two-part course guide.
There's also a CD (or video) called The American Mind, by Gettysburg College professor Allen C. Guelzo, which offers "A broad survey of American intellectual history ; a history of the ideas, the thinkers and the institutions that have mattered most to Americans" in 18 CDs + 3 course guidebooks.
Or you could listen to 8 lectures delivered by Professor Robert Greenberg, San Francisco Conservatory of Music. This one is about Mozart, but there are several in the series entitled Great Masters / [musician], His Life & Music. Most are on CD, but some are available on video as well.
I'm sure you could find even more @ your library!
