any branch library for your informational and educational
needs.
September is Library Sign-Up
Month! What's the one surprising investment that can
yield up to 10 times its value?
Your public library! Recent studies show that libraries contribute
far more
than informational resources to their communities; they also strengthen
the economy. This September, the American Library Association
(ALA) and
libraries across the country urge individuals to take advantage
of their investment and sign up for a library card, the “smartest
card” in your wallet.
Visit your local library to get a library card, to
check out books,
audio cassettes, CDs, videos, DVDs, magaizines
and much, much more!

Own
a laptop and need a place to connect?
