Tip for the bookworms out there

March 10, 2010 By Amy @ Positively Splendid

I like to frequent the forums at Sew, Mama, Sew!, and I am always impressed with the ideas shared among the forum members. Recently, a very wise woman posted that a great way to get a feel for the many terrific crafting books available is to take them out at the library before you decide to take the plunge and invest in them for your own collection. I really don’t know why this particular idea never dawned on me since our family is never without an ample supply of books on loan from the library, but when I saw this tip, I immediately requested a plethora of sewing titles. I have had such fun perusing all of these of these wonderful books – and all for absolutely free! I know this isn’t anything terribly groundbreaking, but I thought I’d pass the idea along just in case y’all, like me, hadn’t ever thought to reap the benefits of all of those taxpayer dollars you pass along to your local library each year when it comes to your crafting inspiration!

Happy reading,

    I do this frequently! It has saved me a ton of money in books that I thought I wanted and then decided they weren’t for me after really sitting down with them.

    I too had a lightbulb moment about taking out library books…too bad our little one horse library doesn’t have the trendy titles tho 🙁 Oh well…there’s always half.com right?! LOL!
