#WhatLibrariesDo
Beyond lending books, they:
Offer free access to computers & wifi
Provide free newspapers
Help with social isolation
Run amazing events
Provide a safe, warm, non-judgmental public space, open to all.
#Libraries
are a ‘must-have’ service.
#LibrariesMatter
I've been thinking about how many people have been surprised by all the other services public libraries provide. Wouldn't it be great to publicise that?
Maybe we could start a hashtag like
#WhatLibrariesDo
to talk about the things that they do beyond lending books. Thoughts?
