Got Too Many Telephone Directory Books?

By Karen Porter, Editor

Do you get three to five telephone book directories delivered to your home annually? Here's how to organize and use them best...

 

 

 


Keep one telephone book in your home under or by the main telephone. You might keep it in a nearby drawer that all family members know about.

 

If you have a home office with a second telephone, put another telephone directory in there. This will at least save you a few steps if you make a lot of calls (and you don't want to waste money on information assistance or time by doing Internet lookups that are easily found quicker in your local phone book).

 

If you have a lot of guests and a guest room, put a phone directory in there. They may want to check out local restaurants and such.

 

If you have yet another telephone book, put it in the car. If you only have two phone books, always put one in your home and one in your car. You'll be amazed at how often you need a phone book in the car (don't waste your cellular digital minutes or money on information from your cell phone). Just be sure to store it safely in the car, such as somewhere that it won't become a flying missile should you get in a fender bender or worse.

 

Trash or recycle any remaining telephone book directories. Also check with your child's school to inquire if they do a telephone book drive each year.
