I absolutely love my library! I am able to find audiobooks and physical books that I would otherwise not be able to afford to buy. I have loved reading since I was a little girl and I am so excited to not only be able to read just about anything I desire, from my local library, but also share my love of reading with my kids. My son has dyslexia so audiobooks have been a life saver for him. My daughter loves to go to the library after school and hang out with her friends and pick up the latest book in whatever series she is currently reading.

Public libraries are a precious resource and good librarians are worth their weight in gold. They don’t just help people with books. They help us work on resumes, learn English, get computer access, help mothers find books to read to their toddlers, print and make sense of documents sent from doctors, and connect to tax advice just to name a few. This is a real list of things I’ve observed in a typical week at my local library. They need more funding, not cuts!
