Do you have much luck with it? I've been tempted to join up, but have to go through the boxes in my basement to find stuff I'd want to give away. I have some sort of sentimental attachment (packrat-ism) when it comes to books I really enjoy, and can't seem to hand them over.

I've had great luck. I've probably received over 200 books in the last year. I'm looking forward to summer vacation when I can park my butt on the deck with a stack of good books and a coffee (or 2 or 3).

I go to the library ALL the time, at least once a week. And an extra perk of having a card... I get to access HeritageQuest and other databases from my home computer.

Cool. My library lets me access Ebscohost databases and a slew of others. It would be worth keeping my library card updated even if online databases were the only things I did with it.

I use the library all the time. For new releases or any book that isn't on the shelf, I can order online and they email me when the book is in for pick up.
