A friend of mine shared this receipt from her local library which shows how much money she's saved by using it.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I prefer to buy books to own. But books are expensive, so if a particular book feels like it's not something worth the money to keep, I just borrow it from the library instead. That's literally money saved for me. Yeah, you could argue that if the library wouldn't have been an option then maybe I wouldn't have bought the book at all, so no difference there, but it's still the difference between reading the book for free or not reading the book at all.
