Greensboro is a city of readers. We love our libraries and our books. In the above photo, on the Day of the Children, you see what a hub of activity our Central Library can be on the weekends. True, Saturday, May 3rd, was extra busy; however, it is not uncommon to see these crowds at our local libraries. In addition to the Central Branch, there are seven other branches, all revving up for a busy summer schedule.
If you haven't been to a library in a while, this is not your grandma's library. There are computers, access to software, digital materials, DVD's, meeting rooms, walking trails, fabulous art exhibits, experts on hand to help you, and so much more. Here is a link so you can find out what the Greensboro branch closest to you will be offering this summer. There are many options.
Today is our Alphabet Soup Round of ABC Wednesday and "R" is for "reading," especially SUMMER reading!!! As the national non-profit literacy organization, RIF, has been reminding us since their founding in 1966, Reading is Fundamental, regardless of where you live or what language you speak. Spread the (written) word!
This sounds like an amazing library! I`m happy to see that some children are still interested in books..with all this technology surrounding us :)
