National Library Week is April 7 – 13. This year’s theme is “Ready, Set, Library!”
I prefer the title of this column: Support your local library.
Why? Because local libraries support our communities. Libraries are more than a place to check out a book or access free internet service. Libraries have expanded their services in order to stay relevant with today’s audiences.
Here’s a list of some of the items or services that your local library may be offering for checkout:
- Garden seed exchange
- Local and national newspapers
- Magazines on all types of subjects
- Music and movies
- State park one-day passes
- Original artwork
- Toys and board games
- Language classes
- Tax preparation advice
This week might be the time to “check out” your local library.
