Your local library-as a Millionaire Nurse, if you don’t have a library card, then you are missing out on so many money-saving options.
Let’s forget for a minute the fundamental purpose of libraries-as a depository of books available to the public for nothing! Yes, nothing. Does that sound like something Millionaire Nurses would be interested in?
If you are not a big reader, then your road to the Millionaire Nurse will be long, and perhaps impossible. To be successful in changing habits, you need to continue to educate yourself about money!
But the local library is so much more than books. Here are just a few of the other available savings available at our local library:
- Recent videos and DVD’s to check out-both educational and entertainment
- Books on CD’s
- Computers to use
- Basic computer courses
- Software use classes
- Visits with Santa
- Author talks and book signings
- Genealogy resources
- Journal article research
- Children’s reading programs
Free Money Finance, a popular personal finance blog, recently posted about the availability of “Consumer Reports” online through his local library. Our library, at this time, does not have that service available, but as you can see above, they have much to offer.
The library also can get books that they don’t have in their collection-you can even request them online.
A Millionaire Nurse understands when to spend, and when to save money. I am a frequent visitor to our local library, and did much of the research for my book “The Millionaire Nurse” there. Saving money along the way. I have fond memories of “story time”, a reading program when I was a kid-yes they had books back then too!
So make sure you visit your local library soon, and begin your savings right away.
Thanks to Catherine,Assistant Director at our local library,(which has been honored with national awards) for this information.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about the use of the library.

I just received a book from Amazon.com that happens to be my THIRD time purchasing a copy of it. I loan my better books to my brother or my friends, they are usually never returned, or returned years later after I have bought the book again to re-read. My entire second story of my house has stacks upon stacks of books everywhere. It is true, the library is the place to go if you want to save money. As my father says quite often, “If you had a nickel for every book you bought…you would be a millionaire.”
I love the library. LOVE it. I have saved so much money since I stopped my obsession with Borders and started being obsessed with the library. More importantly, I read all of the personal finance books and realized I was being particularly naughty.
The Vegas library actually gets some decent authors for readings now and then. Craft fairs with great stuff. It’s wonderful.
