Libraries hold a special place in my heart, serving as sanctuaries of knowledge and refuge amidst the chaos of life. For someone like me, who navigates the challenges of ADHD and depression, libraries provide an essential space for focus and tranquility. The quiet environment allows me to immerse myself in reading, helping to soothe my anxious mind and offering an escape from daily stresses. Access to a diverse range of books and resources, including audiobooks, invites exploration and fosters both creativity and learning. With my long commute, the library app has become invaluable, allowing me to access a wealth of audiobooks that I wouldn't have otherwise. These stories transform my travel time into opportunities for growth and enjoyment, making the journey much more manageable. Moreover, libraries are a gift I can share with my children. They offer a wonderful opportunity for us to bond over stories and adventures found within the pages of countless books. By introducing them to the library, I aim to instill a love for reading and learning, creating a foundation for their own emotional well-being. The accessibility of resources and programs tailored for kids encourages them to explore their interests and develop critical thinking skills. In a world where distractions are prevalent, libraries remain a beacon of hope, providing a nurturing environment for both my personal growth and the development of my children. The convenience of the library app not only enriches my own experience but also opens up a world of stories for my kids, ensuring that they too can enjoy the magic of reading during our long commutes.

Woburn Public Library is so gorgeous that I bring all my out of town guests here and it's always a safe place for me to go and everyone is always so friendly and helpful.

How has the library helped you "a lot because how I can find books I can't find in other libraries"

How has the library helped you? "When my printer died I was able to use the library printer. Faxing and scanning. It's faster to scan multiple pages at once. Books to use for my kids when teaching in a daycare. Exercises that help my posture and back (yoga)"

How has the library helped you? "Learn new crafts, find books when doing book clubs so I didn't have to spend money buying it! Coloring for relaxation and focus
