Free Or Almost Free Things To Do in the Mid-Peninsula Area, March 11-31, 2011

The best things in life are free!  I first heard that when I went to see the movie with the same name with my Aunt B.  That was 1956.  The movie starred Gordon MacRae, Dan Dailey and Ernest Borgnine.  I just remember the song and that there was a lot of singing and dancing.  I was in heaven!  Movies back then were almost free.

In the last post I did about free or almost free, I left out your local library.  My library happens to be the Menlo Park library.  The library is having a Book Sale on Sunday, March 20 from Noon to 4 PM.  The books on sale have been donated and sorted and displayed by the Friends of the Menlo Park Library.  These books are almost free!  If you are going, get there early.  The best ones go quickly!  Bookworm

The library has books that can be downloaded to your Android, iPhone, and other readers except for the Kindle.  The library has a new language teaching tool.  It's called Mango Language Learning.  The software can be accessed from home with your MP library card.  There are 25 languages available and also English for Spanish speakers.  I didn't mention that the library card is free.  When I was teaching in elementary school, I always suggested to my students that they ask their parents for a library card as birthday present.  The parents were thrilled  --  a free birthday present! 

There's so much more at the library.  Go to the web page and scroll all the way to the bottom.  You can even purchase used books from the library through Amazon.
