The best social networking website to share your favorites and not so favorites, to interact with authors, and to keep track of your library, especially if your real home library looks a mess like mine.

Your Neighborhood Library...it's all FREE!

When was the last time you visited your neighborhood library?



If more than a couple of years have passed, then you may be in for a big surprise. I challenge you this week to visit your library's website, attend a booksigning, research your family's history, or just sit and read a book to your kids.



At St. Louis County (Missouri) Library's website, http://www.slcl.org/, I download books to my computer, read book reviews online, and find resources to use in my consulting work. I visit my neighborhood branch to preview books I want to buy, read magazines I can't afford, and meet with friends for booksignings.



...and it's all FREE!

Peace,

Vy
