ReplyDeletePublic libraries are great and I'm always encourging people to join! I don't understand why people don't join. All that information, for practically no money! Anyway...
ReplyDeleteIs yours well used? Libraries that are not used make me sad.
Neat!
ReplyDeleteZ: libraries in the US are usually free to the people who live in the community. That is something I always thought was strange in Europe, although the yearly fee was (usually) nominal. I guess every library has to get their funding somewhere. Our library is supported by the county - I believe from the property taxes.
Hi Z, yes, our library is very well used! I don't have the figures, but I remember that after the children's wing was added, usage went way up, plus there's a computer area.
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking.
Great to see that the library is such a vibrant place in Selma. I am a big supporter of public libraries myself, they are fantastic resources.
