PUBLIC LIBRARIES |
Public Libraries are full of great resources. You can access their larger book collections, check out movies and video games, use their digital eBook and eAudiobook collections, and search their online databases. Some have makerspaces, digital creation studios, study rooms, staff and spaces dedicated to serving teens, and more.
