Did you know you can borrow books and music from a public library for free? All you need is a library card. If you do not have a card, ask your librarian to help you get one.
If your local public library owns a copy of Bun E. Learns to Count in French / Bun E. apprend à compter, you can borrow it for free. Just ask for the book/CD by title, or by the ISBN number. Ours is ISBN 0-9744810-0-9.
If your library does not own this book, you may ask them to obtain it for you from another public library through an Inter-Library Loan.
| ISBN stands for International Standard Book Number. A unique number is assigned to every book printed in the world.
Again, borrowing from a public library is free of charge, providing you return the book, CD, or other materials by the due date.
You could also ask your library to consider purchasing this book/CD for its collection! Please ask your librarian to visit this website (www.bunetales.com) to view the book, to sample the CD, and to find out where and how to buy.

It was called The Library Company of Philadephia, founded in 1731. That was before the U.S. had won her Independence from England!
It also housed the Library of Congress from 1774-1800, and is today the United States' oldest cultural institution.
The United States' first public library, located just outside Boston, was founded with books from Benjamin Franklin's private collection. It was named Franklin Public Library in his honor.
