Finding cookbooks at your library

Mrs. Micah at Finance for a Freelance Life has a post at Frugal Hacks: Never buy another cookbook.

A snippet:

Since I was 16, I’ve worked in some kind of library or another. I’m particularly familiar with county libraries and the Dewey Decimal system. Yet for all that, I didn’t think of just using the library (and the internet) instead of buying cookbooks. Fortunately, I figured it out pretty quickly and have been using the library ever since.

I took some time after work yesterday to put together a guide to finding the cookbook you want at your county library (or any library using the Dewey Decimal system).

Now here are a couple of tips for the Monroe County Library System:

  • Any book in the system can be placed on order via the library’s web site to be delivered to your favorite library branch. The default branch on my account, for example, is the Dorsch Memorial Branch Library downtown.
  • The Ellis Reference and Information Center and the Bedford Branch do have Sunday hours.
