More geared towards libraries in metro areas, but #locallibraries offer culture passes to local museums. It is a great resource if you don’t always have the funds to see that new exhibit, or check-out a new museum before becoming a member. It usually covers you and a friend or two. /Part 4

There is relatively inexpensive printing available at your #locallibraries. But a lot of libraries still offer Covid services and you can print for free. Help others and offer to print citizen or immigration paperwork for others. Nicely asking #librarystaff to override, it goes a long way🤐 /Part 3

#locallibraries or even @archive.org has e-books available for check-out and download to your local device. I suggest utilizing a #koboereader as it isn’t an American tech product and semi-easily pairs to your local library. /Part 2

Love this. Reading to your child with the child and the book on your knee is a great start. My daughter could already write her name when she started preschool at 3 and 3 months. She chomped her way through library books. Now is one of the most intellectually grounded people I know. #LocalLibraries

Meanwhile the state of the world drove me to read for pleasure again. So grateful for @libbyapp.com via #LocalLibraries and @freelibrary.bsky.social.

You literally don't even have to go to the library to find a good read (but you totally should go anyway).
Booooo!!!

Why so few Americans read for pleasure wapo.st/475WU6U

Reading declined "40% in the past 20 years."

This hurts so much, including critical thinking, health outcomes, and our overall wellbeing.

Why so few Americans read for pleasure
The decline in Americans’ leisure reading comes as attention spans are shrinking and print book sales are in decline.

#Locallibraries are mostly funded by local tax dollars, but the funding they do get from the federal government goes towards things like employee training & technology updates. This is especially critical in more remote areas.

#IMLS also supports museums of all kinds—by “awarding grants..."

Agree? Every town should have a Family History Month. Free genealogy workshops, photo scanning tips, storytelling, and hands on family events could save priceless memories before they’re lost forever. Would you attend? #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #LocalLibraries #PreserveMemories

Nothing like getting to the end of a really lovely book and discovery that there's a second book you didn't even know about *AND* it's available for immediate checkout

Libraries saved my life when I was a kid. They were a safe haven for this geeky wee person-a place to escape abuse and bullying, to feed my mind and soul-with learning, with art and stories to stoke my imagination and support my insatiable curiosity about every topic under the sun #LocalLibraries 💜
Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) 😊📚

Thank you libraries & library workers… for everything ✨💚
