If you think the library is a thing of the past, think again. Public libraries are crushing it right now and continue to be pillars in their communities. They offer some amazing programs from educational opportunities for kids to author events for adults. There are so many great options for everyone at the local library.

But, like other establishments, libraries have had to close their doors during the Coronavirus pandemic. Even though people can't come in and get books in person, the library websites have been very busy with avid readers checking things out 24/7. If you're getting bored and tired of streaming shows and movies, check out the website for your local library and start reading!
