today is my NINETEEN YEAR anniversary working at my local library
In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today!
If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs!
And yeah, they have books too.
Our local network of libraries is doing a thing this summer where you can visit the different branches for a stamp on a passport to "earn" prizes. So, we have a 33 library challenge!
THAT'S SO COOL!! Have fun traveling your library world!
My library system did that last year (to great success, that I could tell) and for some reason didn't immediately repeat
Too many people got the t-shirt? Repetition is boring?
What we're discovering is that there are some profoundly inconvenient branches - only open Tuesday and Wednesday...
Ya - I love those little places! But I'm super glad to live in town with one of the main branches that's open 6-7 days a week and has a LOT of resources also.
When we order books they can come from anywhere in the network to our branch. For a while we had day trips based on returning books to their home libraries. An excuse for a randomised Saturday visit to obscure villages we'd never otherwise have bothered with.
