You can access our libraries' calendars through each of our libraries' location pages on our website (linked below). Are there any upcoming events that you're excited about? Let us know in the comments!

Library Tip #48: Use your local library's event calendar and go to the events that interest you! Going to library events is a great way to meet people with similar interests, to stay healthy, and to have fun. Many public libraries will host game clubs, craft clubs, cooking classes, and even yoga classes! You just have to look at the calendar. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

What do you want to find at the library?

#LibraryTips #GatewaysToKnowledge #LibraryLife #AllAreWelcome #LibSky
Library Tip #62: You don't have to be "smart" to use the library. The only requirement is that you have a desire to find something. This could be the book you want to read, the movie you want to watch, a toy you don't have at home, the bathroom, or just a place to relax. Public libraries are gateways to fulfilling numerous needs for people and all people are welcome inside. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

What have you tried at the library before you bought it? Tell us in the comments! 👇
#LibraryTips #TryBeforeYouBuy #LibraryLife #LibSky
Library Tip #46: Try items at the library before you buy them! Most of us have experienced buying a book, movie, or video game that we were really excited about, but ended up being underwhelmed. Save money and reduce the amount of stuff you have lying around at home by borrowing before you buy. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

If you're interested in reading more books about people who are different from you, we often recommend arranging your quest around all the different awareness weeks and months of the year. This month is #NativeAmericanAndIndigenousHeritage month!
#LibraryTips #LibSky #BookSky
Library Tip #73: Read books about people who are different from yourself (whether that difference is race, gender, sexual orientation, occupation, or something else)! This kind of reading allows you to consider other people's perspectives privately and can benefit your life in multiple ways. Increased knowledge can change how you act and carry yourself. You may find it easier to connect with people at work or people may just feel more comfortable and accepted around you. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

Library Tip #26: Bring your kids to storytime at the library! Storytime helps to develop children's concentration, social skills, communication skills, imagination and creativity. Attending storytime with your children will also show them that you care about them and their development. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

Read banned or challenged books! You can easily borrow copies of books that have been banned or challenged at different libraries or schools by picking one up from our #BannedBookDisplays at the #BellefonteLibrary, #CentreHallAreaBranchLibrary, or #HoltMemorialLibrary.
#BannedBooksWeek #LibraryTips
Library Tip #38: Read Banned Books or those that have been challenged! Banned and challenged books give us a vocabulary to discuss subjects that we often don't like to talk about. They also give us a safe space to explore topics that typically cause arguments or are shrouded in rumor and gossip. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

Always #citeyoursources! It's important for many more reasons than avoiding plagiarism. It gives value to other's work and shows other people that your assertions are reliable.

#InformationLiteracy #AvoidPlagiarism #LibraryTips #LibSky
Library Tip #13: Citing your sources is important for more reasons than worrying about getting in trouble for plagiarism. Every time you cite someone's work, you help them build their professional reputation and show that their work has value. Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

In addition to having a plethora of information resources about civics, libraries host programs designed to develop attendee's civic and social literacy and attract civic minded people and groups. Just by spending time at the library and paying attention to its calendar, you'll encounter those events, groups, people, and the resources they bring along!

Need a mental pick-me-up? Just visit your local library! Libraries are a place to connect and peacefully relax just as much as they are places to study and find informational materials.
#LibraryTips #LibrariesAsSanctuaries #LibSky #LibrariesAreForEveryone #ImproveYourMood
Library Tip #70: Visit the public library to improve your mood. In our world, its easy to feel down and lonely. Thankfully, public library visits can be easy mood boosts and are FREE. Libraries are clean, quiet, temperature controlled, decorated, have free WiFi, and have bathrooms. Library staff are paid to assist patrons and treat them kindly. Other library visitors are typically also in a good mood due to the environment and are more likely to have positive interactions with others. The multitude of books and other resources inside are an added bonus! Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo.

A #librarycatalog is a very useful tool that every library user should utilize. At our library system, patrons can search through library items that exist at 5 different libraries throughout #CentreCountyPA 😀💻

#LibraryTips #InformationLiteracy
Library Tip #54: Use the library's catalog on their website! You can use it at the library and at home. When you use the catalog at the library, you can even ask library staff to show you how to use it more efficiently. The catalog can help you find all sorts of things. It's like scrolling through your favorite subscription streaming service, except it's free! Centre County Library & Historical Museum logo. Background image of a flower covered mountain top.

Library Tip #63: Have you heard of the magazine, Book Page? It's a really cool publication that many libraries and book stores subscribe to that has book reviews, author interviews, and recommendations.
