Reasons to love your local library

Maddie Marsh • February 25, 2014

So, with all of these resources open to the public, the question is not “why would I use the library?” but “why would I not use the library?” Image Courtesy of The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County.

With so many libraries closing, here are some reasons about why you should protect your local libraries:

It is FREE. Free to sign up for a card, to check out books, DVDs, and music.
It will ship anything you want that they have to the location of your choice- and yes that is free also.
They provide homework help on their website. http://www.cincinnatilibrary.org/resources/
They provide computers with internet access for patrons at all of their locations.
There are free shows and movies, and the libraries in Cincinnati have a fairly good selection. And with Blockbuster closed, it is one of the main options.
They have e-books available via http://www.cincinnatilibrary.org/, so you do not even have to go to the library to get a new book
They have many programs, many of which can be found here: http://programs.cincinnatilibrary.org/evanced/lib/eventcalendar.asp
They have a Tumblr blog, Inklings http://cincylibrary.tumblr.com/
