If everyone that lives in my little town checked out just one item a month from the library we’d be overwhelmingly busy. Using your library is the easiest way to support it. The more people that use the library the more power we have to defend it.

It’s really pretty cool that one thing you can do to support people you like is ask your local library to get their book because it doesn’t cost you anything, it helps them, and the librarian gets to know someone actually wants to read a book and not just use the computer for Roblox
