A week ago the Library had a film Festival, and now a Video game Competition, when was the last time you were at the Library?

I was there tonight, Rob. My 10 year old has started her own book club and she loves the library. I think kids get a sense of independence when they can be pointed in a direction and told to go find a book that interests you.

Hi Robert, great Localism stuff. Our library is fairly interactive with our community...we're a small town but the library is great.  Have fun!

Hi Linda. My kids are both big readers. They certainly did not get that from me, I do not sit still well! they can find anything at the library.. NOT ME!  I am always shocked at the variety of "stuff" our local library offers.

Gail, it always surprises me what our library offers, I think most people are not aware of their events... The Library actually put me on their Press release list because they saw my blogs...
