Thankful for the Library

This time of year many of us start thinking about the things that we are thankful for. The public library is on the top of my list because of all the wonderful things offered. You can: Get a free library card • Research a new purchase • Use the online databases and computerized catalog • Get ideas for redecorating your home • Get nostalgic by looking at old newspapers • Prepare or update your resume • Attend preschool story time • Enroll in the Summer Reading program • Look up health information • Check your stock • Get a book through interlibrary loan • Read the latest fashion magazine • Learn to navigate the web • Research a term paper • Get help on your taxes • Browse your favorite websites • Make photocopies • Trek to another planet in a Sci-Fi novel • Find a job • Check out a DVD•Trace your family tree • Join a book discussion group • Learn about another country•Find a classical CD • Borrow an audio book for your next trip • Read a classic • and best of all find a book to curl up with. What would you add to the list?
