You can borrow a lot more than just books at the Seattle Public Library these days.

Starting tomorrow, the system is adding the “Kill A Watt” home energy monitor to the list of items you can check out, through a partnership with Seattle City Light.

That’s right, before you decide to watch that DVD from the library, you can find out just how much energy your TV is using.

The home energy monitors are available to all library cardholders at all library locations, including Maple Leaf’s closest at Northgate, 10548 Fifth Ave. N.E.

From the library’s news release:

Beginning May 6, Library patrons can borrow a Kill A Watt device with a Library card, just like a book or DVD. Plug it into an electrical outlet and find out how much it’s costing to run refrigerators, computers, TVs and other home appliances. The Kill A Watt monitor measures the electric consumption of small to medium household electronic devices and appliances, and can even help discover which appliances use electricity even when turned off.

For more information, call 386-4636. To learn more about how to save energy, contact Seattle City Light’s Conservation Help Line at 684-3800, or visit seattle.gov/light/conserve.
