Support Your Local Library 2010

This is another challenge that I really enjoyed this year. For 2009 I chose the 25 book level for this challenge. For 2010 I am increasing it to 50. I have been trying to spend less money on books by being more judicious about which ones I buy. In the process I managed to read a lot more library books this year.
