Two conservation tips from Lynn the Librarian in Junction City. 

1.  Library use, i.e., borrowing books, is an advanced form of recycling.  A book may be checked out over 100 times before it is discarded; and think of the shelf-space you are saving, by storing volumes at your public library.  

2.  A home-efficiency tip:  use a clothes line or clothes rack to dry your laundry. I started the practice when my dryer quit.  I do not plan on having the dryer repaired.
