TEN WAYS YOUR PUBLIC LIBRARY CAN SAVE YOU MONEY
Here is a great way to publicize the benefits of a public library. It's from the UK, but you can adapt it for your own situation. If you're not in a public library, why not create something similar?
There's also a link to an Excel spreadsheet from a local UK library that lets you compare the cost of borrowing to the cost of buying information materials.
