1. Access to books at no direct cost to me. (My tax dollars support my library. Money I am happy to pay.)
2. Access to music.
3. Access to books on CD.
4. Link-up to the digital library where I can download both readables and listenables.
5. Access to volumes our library doesn't have, since they will request books from other libraries. Good Guy uses this feature all the time.
6. Our library supplies meeting places for groups in the community. My knitting group originated there and continues to meet there. I've met some really interesting people and made new friends. I've even seen many old friends.
7. Our library has a special room containing research material for geneology study and local history information. (I don't use it, but it's great to know it's there.)
8. Access to computers.
9. Wi-fi.
10. Last, but not least, librarians. Ours are the kindest, most helpful, good-tempered librarians on the planet. I've always loved librarians, who helped me when I was just a little bookworm and helped me become a life-long reader.
Sorry I can't get the link to work, nor can I link my post to Carole's blog. I can do it with other blogs, but I'm out of luck today, folks.
ReplyDeleteI do love the library!!! It was SUCH a relief to FINALLY be residents and get our new library cards!
ReplyDeleteAt our old library in Marion you could even check out art work for your walls!
Ditto - what you said. Libraries are a tremendous addition to commmunities.
