Dear Editor,

The library is a huge part of my family’s life. We are all avid readers and utilize a lot of the programs, as well. My kids have used the computers, for homework and to play games. My oldest has participated in the after school program for middle schoolers, she really enjoyed that. We have utilized story time, art programs, science programs, music programs and have checked out numerous books. I have really loved having the ability to get ebooks via the libby app as well as hoopla with my library card. It has saved me thousands of dollars this year alone. Using the library calculator earlier, I estimated just from the ebooks I have read this year alone, the library has saved me $4,300. Not to mention how much I have saved on road trips from checking out a hot spot. The library is so much more than just books!
