Libraries--they're not just for books anymore! Learn about some other services you may not realize libraries can offer you, and show your local library some love.
Libraries have always been a paradise for bookworms. But as public life emerges once again, it’s important to remember that reading material is far from the only free resource your local branch has to offer. “Libraries are truly a treasure trove,” explains Kate Patterson, Director of Communications at the San Francisco Public Library. “No matter what one is interested in, we have it.” Here are some of the services you won’t want to miss out on, and they won’t cost you a penny.
EVENTS Musical concerts, theatrical performances, author talks, film screenings—if you haven’t taken advantage of the events at your local library yet, it’s time to start. The New York Public Library hosts over 93,000 free events annually all over the city. In addition to on-site events, some libraries offer passes to local museums, theaters, or other cultural destinations. And many libraries themselves host exhibits of art, rare books, local historical artifacts, and more.
SERVICES Have you been putting off filing your taxes or renewing your passport? The library can help with that, too. Whether you need legal aid, a health screening, or a social worker, libraries often partner with organizations that can provide these resources free of charge. If you are job hunting, your library will be able to help you with your resume and interview skills.
