How Much Do You Read?

How many books do you have in your home?

Does your son or daughter own a library card?

Do you own a library card?

Do you take your child to the library?

Do you read to your child daily?

This is part of an outreach project that I'm working on right now and as you know one question always leads to another. I've hit somewhat of a brick wall right now, it turns out that I can't find what our local library system does offer on it's website. One would think that there would be a page outling, listing perhaps, all the benefits of one possessing a library card. Apparently not.

So if I am a person who has, I don't know, immigrated here from another country, I wouldn't have the first clue as to why I would need- or want a library card if I'd never had one before. Hmmm... something to think about.

Meanwhile I will be at the library today, asking, in person, where the listing of services offered by our local library is. Perhaps there's a hard copy somewhere... or perhaps I'll just write my own version of what our local library has to offer.

After all the pen, or in this case the computer keyboard, is mightier than the sword.
