SAVE
SAVE SOME
SAVE SOME MONEY ON THAT ENERGY BILL. SIXTY TO FRIDAY WITH THAT NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN ON SATURDAY
WOLF. >> BACK WITH US ANOTHER
WEEK ANOTHER SEGMENT
FROM CERRILLO, THE QUEEN
OF FREE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BEING HERE WITH US THIS WEEKEND
AS ALWAYS. THANKS FOR HAVING
ME. >> SO WE ARE ALWAYS TALKING
ABOUT FINANCIAL LITERACY, WAYS
TO SAVE MONEY, RESOURCES TO DO
THAT AND NO BETTER WAY TO DO
THAT IN FREE RESOURCES AT THE
LIBRARY WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT BEING A
STARTING PLACE. >> SO GIVE US
SOME TIPS HERE. >> WELL, I
THINK IT'S GREAT. I THINK WE
TRADITIONALLY WE THINK ABOUT
GOING TO THE LIBRARY AND
CHECKING OUT BOOKS BUT YOU CAN
ACTUALLY SAVE HUNDREDS
OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR ON A LOT
OF DIFFERENT SERVICES AND I
HAVE TONS OF IDEAS OUT ON QUEEN
OF FRIEDGEN TODAY BEGINNING
WITH AUDIO BOOKS. SO WE THINK
ABOUT PHYSICAL BOOKS BUT
ACTUALLY AUDIO BOOKS NOT JUST
ON CD FROM THE LIBRARY BUT ALSO
ON APPS THAT YOU CAN STREAM
STRAIGHT FROM YOUR PHONE WITH
YOUR LIBRARY CARD ARE SO, SO
EASY TO USE. THERE ARE SEVERAL
APPS INCLUDING OVERDRIVE HOOPLA
WIBBY THAT YOUR LIBRARY
PROBABLY HAS AS PART OF YOUR
LIBRARY CARD. YOU JUST NEED TO
GO TO THE WEBSITE TODAY AND
CHECK IT OUT THAT CAN SAVE YOU,
YOU KNOW, A SUBSCRIPTION TO
AUDIBLE IS ANYWHERE FROM SEVEN
NINETY FIVE TO FOURTEEN NINETY
FIVE A MONTH SO WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT UP TO ONE HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY NINE DOLLARS PER YEAR
YOU COULD SAVE BY USING A
LIBRARY. >> YEAH BECAUSE THOSE
SUBSCRIPTIONS ADD UP VERY
QUICKLY AND ANOTHER IMAGE YOU
HAVE ON THE LIST IS ONLINE
EXPERIENCES AND PROGRAMS.
EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT.
>> SO A LOT OF TIMES THE
LIBRARY WILL HAVE CLASSES FOR
KIDS OR CERTAIN WORKSHOPS THAT
YOU CAN TAKE. THEY THIS YEAR
HAVE PIVOTED SO AMAZINGLY TO
PROVIDE PATRONS WITH SERVICES
EITHER ON FACEBOOK LIVE OR ON
ZOOM MEETINGS WHERE YOU CAN
LEARN THOSE THINGS FROM THE
COMFORT OF YOUR HOME. YOU DON'T
EVEN HAVE TO GO TO THE LIBRARY.
I WOULD SUGGEST GOING OUT TO
THE CALENDAR THAT ALMOST EVERY
LIBRARY HAS ON THEIR WEBSITE
AND SEEING WHAT'S AVAILABLE
TODAY AND I THINK EVERYONE WILL
BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE. I
KNOW THAT I NEVER THOUGHT
OF THIS BUT YOUR LIBRARY HAS
ACCESS TO FREE STREAMING
SERVICES AND MOVIES, THINGS
LIKE THAT. >> TALK ABOUT THAT
THE MOVIES AND TVS JUST LIKE
THE AUDIO BOOK SUBSCRIPTION
SORT PROGRAMS YOUR LIBRARY HAS
A COMPLEMENTARY SORT OF APP
THAT YOU CAN USE TO BE ABLE TO
GET THOSE FAVORITE TV SHOWS
MOVIES FOR FREE ON YOUR PHONE
OR YOUR DIGITAL DEVICE AGAIN
YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO GO OUT
TO THE LIBRARY WEBSITE AND BY
THE WAY, YOU CAN GET A LIBRARY
CARD AT MOST LIBRARIES EVEN
ONLINE RIGHT NOW. SO I KNOW THE
INDIANAPOLIS PUBLIC LIBRARIES
OFFER THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY
GOING TO NEED ONE JULIA,
BECAUSE YOU JUST MOVED HERE NOT
TOO LONG AGO. ABSOLUTELY. AND
THAT'S WHY I THINK THIS NEXT
TIP IS REALLY COOL TOO BECAUSE
BOOK BOX SUBSCRIPTIONS IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT I HAD REALLY
HEARD ABOUT BEFORE READING YOUR
LIST OF TIPS, I LOOKED INTO IT
A LITTLE BIT AND THIS IS A
REALLY COOL RESOURCE. EXPLAIN
THAT. YEAH, SO YOU KNOW, BOOK
BOXES ARE REALLY, REALLY
POPULAR RIGHT NOW. I KNOW THAT
YOU'RE IN JOHNSON COUNTY. THE
GREENWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY
ACTUALLY OFFERS THIS TO THEIR
PATRONS WHERE YOU FILL OUT A
FORM, YOU TELL THEM WHAT YOU
LIKE TO READ AND THEY WILL HELP
PICK A NEW BOOK FOR YOU AND
PACKAGE IT REALLY CUTELY AND
PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME FUN
EXTRAS ALONG WITH THE BOOK IN
THERE IT TAKES A LITTLE WHILE
SO YOU DO HAVE TO SIGN UP FOR
THAT SERVICE. BUT EVEN IF YOUR
LIBRARY DOESN'T OFFER A BOOK
BOX, THEY DO OFFER SERVICES TO
HELP YOU PICK OUT YOUR NEXT
READ AS WELL DEPENDING ON WHAT
YOU LIKE AND WHAT YOU'VE JUST
FINISHED. THEY'RE GOING TO HELP
YOU FIND THAT NEXT GREAT BOOK
TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION TO
REVIEW WE HAVE TO WRAP UP BUT
WE DO HAVE TIME FOR ONE MORE
TIP ON HERE THAT I REALLY LIKE
AND THAT'S SPECIAL EVENTS. I
THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THAT LIKE THE
LIBRARY HAS LOTS OF EVENTS FOR
YOU TO DO BUT NOT EXACTLY THE
TYPE OF EVENT. SO EXPLAIN THAT.
SO A LOT OF IN-PERSON THINGS
ARE BEGINNING TO COME BACK AT
OUR LOCAL LIBRARIES. I KNOW
TODAY DOWN IN FRANKLIN AT THE
JOHNSON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY
THEY'RE HAVING A FREE PROM
DRESS EVENT AND IT IS LIMITED A
NUMBER OF PEOPLE. SO YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO BE PATIENT BUT
THEY HAVE PROM ITEMS AVAILABLE
FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND GET. SO
YOU JUST REALLY NEED TO KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON AT YOUR
LIBRARY. THERE ARE SO MANY TIPS
OUT ON QUEEN OF FRIEDGEN ABOUT
OTHER THINGS THAT YOU CAN CHECK
OUT FROM THE LIBRARY THAT YOU
NEVER EVEN THOUGHT BEFORE. >>
AND SO THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED TO
CHECK OUT THE REST OF THE TIPS
THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO GET TO.
BUT WE'LL
