Libraries Online
You can check out books or CDs online at www.booksfree.com, which is similar in format to the popular online movie rental service Netflix (www.netflix.com). In both cases, users pay a modest membership fee and in return can check out multiple titles, which are shipped via regular mail (each book, CD, or DVD comes with a return shipping envelope. All postage costs are free with membership). Unlike you local library, though, there are no due dates or late fees.
