I’ve been a member of my local library since I was old enough to pick upa book. In fact, whenever I move house, the first thing I do is to zip off to the nearest branch and grab a ticket. Do you think libraries are boring? Wrong! Here are some great reasons to hang out at the library.
There is usually a wide range of magazine titles as well, maybe not quite what you’d usually read, but why not try something new!
Films, dance, theater, talks … and all free!
Although libraries may not be the haven of tranquility they once were, they’re still a great place to relax in and get away from the demands of work and home.

Take advantage of story time. Keep the kids entertained, meet other people, and start them off on a love of reading.

Books!! It might seem as if they have been pushed out by DVDs and CDs, but libraries still contain books on every subject. Read fiction, travel the world, learn a language, pick up a new skill...
