I geek libraries
By Carol / September 16, 2009 /
I love the new library site that lets you share your passion and lets you see what sends others to their local libraries.
I’m thinking more about libraries because I take to the road again this week – after a summer break – to share stories from and about my memoir. I’ve been fortunate to have so many libraries ask me to do programs for them. As I’ve traveled the state, I’ve seen first hand what vibrant community centers our libraries are.
Libraries are under budget pressure – like everyone else – but they’re a community resource that deserves our support. Libraries offer computers and Internet access when many have had to give up that luxury at home. They provide entertainment for free – books and movies you don’t have to pay to enjoy. They are a community gathering place, a place for social interaction that may be just what someone who’s lost their job needs. All this and more at your local library.
So what do you geek? Log on, have a little fun, share your passion, and find out how you can support your local library.
