Data Gathering

On a lark I have decided to find out how much money the library saves us. My little mission is more 'art' than 'science' since if we had pay for a lot of the stuff we've borrowed from the library honestly we would not have read/watched it at all. I'll keep tabs throughout the year to see how it's going. So far...
