Instead, I've been reading some of the books I have at home. <br /><br />I wish you and Bob a very happy Easter.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-56650620512840224252021-04-03T12:56:56.464+01:002021-04-03T12:56:56.464+01:00My library (in US) has had online access for a num...My library (in US) has had online access for a number of years through OverDrive and another app called Hoopla. OverDrive allows me to take out eight books or audiobooks at a time--three week lending period, but can return as soon as read. Hoopla allows eight books/audiobooks/movies/etc. a month. Unlimited access for magazines. Libby app was just added, but it basically is the same as OverDrive (hard to keep up with them all). But very grateful for the service as it has save me thousands of dollars over the years. The audiobooks have a timer you can set, too, so if I listen to one at bedtime, I know it will go off and if I don't remember where the story line left off, I only have to back up a bit to catch up. Libraries are one of our greatest assets.<br /><br />Wishing you and Bob a blessed and Happy Easter.
