Other items
- like DVDS and talking books are often watched or listened to only once so again it makes sense to hire
Library
Obviously there is a huge selection of books at Harrogate Library, Victoria Avenue (01423 720 300) but there is also a good selection of DVDs, CDs and talking books that can be great for long car journeys. www.harrogate.co.uk/library
If you are going to buy a new book you could buy them from www.read4charity.co.uk which gives a percentage of the sales price to charity. Or save money with www.readitswapit.co.uk
DVD rental
I am recently a convert to DVD postal hiring services such as www.videoisland.co.uk and www.blockbusters.co.uk but if you want something on the night then go to your local Blockbusters or Choices video shop.
