Friday Five... Reasons to Love your Public Library

National Library Week has come and passed... April 8-11 this year, but that does not mean that we cant love our public libraries all year long.

1. Free Downloadable Ebooks.  Timberland Library even gives free classes on how to use the Adobe software and how to move the eBooks to your eReader of choice.

2. Save money by borrowing hardcover bestsellers, nonfiction, fiction.. whatever suits your fancy. 

3. Book reccomendations from Novelist.  What is that you say? You have never tried Novelist!  Well I am a huge book nerd and this is one of my favorite tools to help lost bibliophiles find their next novel to read!

4. View art exhibits in lobby.  I love walking into the Aberdeen branch and seeing the unique pieces in the display case, not to mention the Gigantic Owl that makes me smile, even at the age of twentyseven!  The only image I could find of the owl is here. (photo courtesy of dave ward photography)

5. Update Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Blogger, and any other social media your little heart desires.

Timberland has so many branches in Grays Harbor, including Aberdeen, Amanda Park, Hoquiam, Westport, Elma, McCleary and Oakville.

FYI...I have a list of about 100 reasons to love our public libraries and might just have to make this a recurring post!
