A library provides a portal to a whole new world. The best part? Library cards are FREE and available to everyone! You simply have to fill out an application and prove you are a resident of the county. Just a few of my favorite services included with a library card are: Libby (my favorite FREE audiobook and e-book app), librarians, interlibrary loans, story time for younger kids, curbside service, and the ability to reserve, renew, and hold books via your local library app. Not to mention all of the community related events hosted by libraries year round!
If you want to get in on all that our local libraries have to offer, scroll down to your county and find the one nearest you.
