Think...

I found this great photo online, and I thought I'd share some deep thoughts.

I feel that books, whether we realize it or not, are present in every facet in our life.  Obviously, when we read, or research, or anything having to do with school.  But also, there are many people that use books for crafts, quote authors on Facebook, find funny memes, watch movies (which by the way, 99% of movies started as a book...).

What I also want to state here, that as a Librarian, and working at a library, we are more than just books.  We want you to THINK.  At MCPL alone we have the following:

Research databases

16 public computers

6 kid computers

research help

Summer reading program

craft nights

book clubs

comfortable meeting spaces for teens to hang out

Ebooks/Audiobooks

movies

apps

blogs

Teen Advisory Board

fax machine/photocopiers

kids programs

One on One Reader's Advisory

and ohhhh so much more.  So THINK about it--don't avoid the library because you don't like to read.  

You can avoid the library IF and ONLY IF:

you don't like books AND the worldwide web AND meeting/chatting with friends 

Since that accounts for NO one, there should be no reason to use the library. Think about it.
