How I use my public library
I mainly use my library to borrow books, but I also use it for the reasons listed below:
- Audiobooks: My library offers books on CD and downloadable digital audiobooks. I listen to audiobooks while driving to work.
- Movies: The library offers movies on VHS and DVD as well as offers a platform like Netflix to watch movies and TV shows.
- Quiet Atmosphere: I go to the library to find some quiet time away from my house to work.
- Internet: While seeking quiet time at the library, I use the library’s WiFi.
- Bookstore: My library has a bookstore attached and all the proceeds go to supporting the library. The books are pre-owned books that have been donated to the library.
- Meeting Location: The library offers several rooms for meeting study groups and organization meetings.
- Voting: The library is part of the county library system so the county uses the large meeting room for elections.
Other services offered that I don’t use
The library offers several other services that I don’t use because they are not for my age group. They are:
- Computer Classes
- Proctoring for exams
- Preschool Storytime
- Senior Adult Program
