10 reasons I love my library:
1) They know what books I like and can make recommendations for new authors/titles that are right up my alley
2) It breathes knowledge! You can feel it seeping into you when you walk in the door
3) Serendipity: finding what I didn't even know I needed or wanted
4) Comfy chairs for cozy reading
5) The world at my fingertips: they can get what they don't have
6) Environmentally sound: sharing resources instead of duplicating them
7) Lifelong learning: I love crafts of all kinds and can always find how-to books and videos that help me create
8) Lifelong planning: different stages in life require different information (college, parenting, careers, retirement) and I can always find helpful resouces to get me through each stage
9) The flexibility of renewing materials if I haven't had a chance to get to them yet (and being able to do so online!)
10) Seeing the stack of books and audiobooks on hold for me that will ensure the next week or so is thrilling, fun, scary, joyful and enlightening.
Two reasons why the library is better than buying:
1 - I don't have to find room for that book or DVD on my personal shelves.
2 - If I don't like the product, I don't feel like I've wasted money on something I will never use again.
11 reasons better than buying:

As marketers, I think you're going to love what I am going to do with them and you'll be the first ones to see the results!
