Public Libraries provide considerably more to their patrons than checking out books, music, and movies. Here are just a few of the other features of your local public libraries:

Wireless Internet
Most of the branches of our local libraries offer free wireless Internet connections. They also have plenty of quiet spaces, making them good places to study close to home.

Meeting Rooms
All of our public libraries also have meeting rooms at some of their branches. These rooms can be reserved by patrons for group projects, studying, or organizational meetings. See your home library’s Web page for details on reserving rooms.

Book Sales
All of our local libraries also hold periodic book sales. You can find used books, CDs, and DVDs, all at very low prices, sometimes just one dollar each. The proceeds go towards purchasing new materials for your library, so the whole community benefits from your purchase.
