I encourage anyone who can take advantage of the offer to do so. I just wish that businesses would consider public libraries when they make these deals. A lot of the time, public libraries are also not considered when discount offers are made on products or services. Businesses will offer special prices to schools, but they don't consider the public library to be associated with the school systems, even though we supplement public education... And without the budget of the board of education. Don’t get me wrong, I think that any free access to information is a good thing. I encourage anyone who can take advantage of the offer to do so.
