2009 Support Your Local Library Challenge

I saw a post about this at the end of last year but I never signed up (at least I don’t think I did).  So, I’m signed up.  I’m going to start tracking with the paper/hardback books, audio-books, and DVDs that I currently have checked out.  I’ll update it every time I hit the library.

My starting stats are, 4 Books, 5 Audiobooks, and 2 DVDs.  I guess I’m aiming for the 50 since that is the biggest challenge.  So, I’m at 9/50 (since DVDs don’t count).

Thanks to Melanie for all the great suggestions.  I’m going to definitely do some of them in the next couple of months.  I also found another pattern yesterday called Snake River Socks that look like they would be stretchy too.  For some reason it just strikes me as perfect for the Mississippi Mud blank, but that might just be because of the name 😉
