LOVE

I am so grateful to have access to a library. Free access to books is such a luxury to me. I mostly borrow ebooks/audiobooks and it keeps me sane! My commute to work can take about 2 hours one way and the audiobooks make my drive feel like I'm in school learning something new, or other times, another world where I face dragons and demons. Books continue to shape the type of human I am evolving into...and in turn, all those who I share my life journey with. THANK YOU

They're Free

When I was 6 years old, my brother who was much older than I brought me to the local library after school one day for my first visit. He instructed me to select books that I thought I would like. When I asked how much it would be to take them out, my brother said, "They're free". Having grown up in a housing project and always watching pennies, I couldn't believe that I could borrow these books for free! That was the start of my long-term love for the library.

Inspiring readers

I’m a mom and I love reading. I used to always use my Kindle, but then realized that as far as my kids are concerned, it’s just another screen that I stare at for long periods of time! The library allows me to get physical books and inspire them to read so that they can too get into this incredibly educational and character building hobby
