With the record-breaking temps we've had this summer, many are looking for ways to reduce their utility bills.

Energizing Indiana offers free home energy assessments to those who apply. An Energy Advisor will visit your home to perform the assessment. You'll receive step-by-step guidance; energy saving products, such as CFL bulbs, low-flow faucet aerators & shower heads, and insulation for your water heater; and a comprehensive report detailing additional ways to make your home more energy efficient.

This service is free, and the library Foundation will receive $25 for every energy assessment conducted through EVPL. Reduce your energy costs while helping our library Foundation!

Free e-book on personal finance

The Simple Dollar, a personal finance blog that I've seen cited many times, is giving away a 50-page PDF, "Everything You Need to Know About Personal Finance on Just One Page." Definitely worth the 4.4 MB download, it starts off (just as it says) by giving you one single page of core advice on earning, spending, and investing, then fleshes it out over a mere 49 pages.

Of course, the Library offers a huge number of personal finance books, including many titles recent enough to take the current financial situation into account. Some of the titles published in 2009 include:

Game Over: How You Can Prosper in a Shattered Economy by Stephen Leeb
The Cure for Money Madness: Break Your Bad Money Habits, Live Without Financial Stress--and Make More Money! by Spencer Sherman
Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Out of Debt by Ken Clark
Gimme My Money Back: Your Guide to Beating the Financial Crisis by Ali Velshi
The Difference: How Anyone Can Prosper in Even the Toughest Times by Jean Chatzsky
J.K. Lasser's Guide For Tough Times : Tax And Financial Solutions To See You Through by Barbara Weltman
Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity by Adam Hamilton
