Tell Him, Batman!

A lot of people believe libraries exist solely to check out books and movies. 

 

(Yes, I realize that "online" is not completely in this graphic. Blame Pinterest! :-P)

Those people are SORELY mistaken.  I think I have written a similar blog post about this before, but I can't tell you enough how much more libraries can offer.  Here are some things just our small town library offers the community:

safe space

study carrolls

research databases

notary

E-books

Genealogy databases

one-on-one help using the library, research projects, finding materials

storytime and toddler time
