While books are at the center of any library’s collection, libraries are about so much more!  

Can you name 5 Things that the library offers (other than books)?

We’ve been asking this question recently – and it’s fun to see some responses, especially in light of this year’s National Library Week theme: There’s More to the Story. Everyone has a slightly different answer – we’ve been asking our managers, but you might encounter the social media team in a branch sometime soon. You can find some answers in the source magazine and on our website.

Your library card opens a world of possibilities and remains true to our mission of Public Education for All. 5 Things lists have mentioned these and others:

• classes and events
• language learning
• passport services
• STEAM and Literacy activity kits
• arts and crafts
• digital media
• DIY tools
• Art and photo prints
• toys and ukuleles

So, let us know … how do you use the library? What are your favorite 5 Things?
