teens, teens at risk.

They host book clubs, free films and cultural programs.

They provide insured public meeting places for hobby clubs.

I love libraries and love librarians.

7. they also provide warm shelter during the day for
people who don't have anywhere else to be. I know this sounds silly, but it's true, and important to many in cold climates.

In our state it is also often a place where those without computers have free access to the web.

All at no charge. And for some, you don't even need a library card.

Thank you, libraries and librarians! :yourock: :loveya:
