Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: I love your column, and I have a great hint for your readers. Whenever I visit the library, I can’t seem to remember all the fascinating books and authors I’ve been meaning to read.

Our library system has a Web site with a catalog search option. I search for books online right after I’ve read an interesting book review in a magazine and place them on reserve.

The library then sends an e-mail notice when the books are ready for pickup, and I’m always delighted with my “personalized” selections! – Jenny Corsey from Marietta, Ga.

Aren’t libraries wonderful? They offer a wealth of information, and it’s not just books – CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes and more are available for everyone to use. Most libraries have computers that patrons can use as well. – Heloise
