It's Library Lovers' Month . . .


February is Library Lovers' Month and folks around the country are rallying in support of academic, school and public libraries. Some of the ways Library Lovers demonstrate their love of libraries:
  • by donating new and used books - often to honor loved ones
  • volunteering their time and expertise
  • joining Friends organizations
  • speaking up for libraries at civic and community meetings
During economic downturns, people turn to public libraries for information, recreation, and cultural needs so it is not surprising that public libraries are facing historic demands for their service. Public libraries have become multimedia centers, offering not only books but informational DVDs, classic movies, cultural events, computer classes, craft workshops, art shows, e-books and Internet access for all age groups - all FREE with a library card.

Here is a list of public libraries in Fairfield County, Connecticut. They are a wonderful resource for all to enjoy . . . so, take some time this February and
