It’s February which means that it’s National Library Lovers Month! February is the month that recognizes those who love everything that a library has to offer. Some ways to celebrate are giving a shoutout to your favorite library, checking out the other resources the library has to offer besides books, making a list of books and other media that you would like to eventually check out, renew or sign up for a library card, volunteer at your local library, and of course visiting the library! Libraries offer so many things to their communities such as educational entertainment for preschoolers, theatre, activities, music, art, and friendship. Communities rely on their libraries for meeting space for public forums, social gatherings, and fundraisers. Libraries provide resources for researching family and community heritage. Libraries lend other media than books like movies and music. They also offer digital resources for everyone in the community to use. For this month at the Big Sandy Library, we will have weekly happenings. We are continuing to have Power Hour every Monday through Thursday from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
