I am a follower of a blog dedicated to helping moms shop, use coupons, save money! I was very disappointed to read a post about stealing ebooks and music. When did being frugal become stealing?
I would like to offer an alternative to paying for (or stealing) ebooks. The Edmonton Public Library.
The EPL offers books for all kinds of ereaders and iPads, and you don’t have to go into the library to get them!
Library cards are FREE from March 13, 2013 to March 13, 2014. It’s the EPL’s birthday gift to you, to celebrate 100 years of a great library in Edmonton.
Better still, their friends at the Edmonton International Airport have generously donated round-trip tickets for two people on United’s new EIA to Newark New York non-stop service. Get your FREE library card between March 13, 2013 and June 1, 2013 and you are entered to win. Click here for more details.
Getting your FREElibrary card is simple. Just go down to any branch with ID in hand (and proof of address). It’s that easy. If you already have a card that expires within 30 days you can renew online!
