This month’s theme is to embrace the library as a sustainable entity with services that can help you reduce your carbon footprint, save money, learn new things and engage with others in your community.
The “business model” of a library is inherently environmentally friendly, as physical materials are consistently reused by borrowers. Our burgeoning digital collection takes this concept a step further by offering access to free e-books, e-audiobooks and online newspapers and magazines. To learn more about tapping into this collection – as well as requesting items and registering for programs online – attend the Navigating our Digital Services class on February 20 with tech librarian Michael.
South Huntington also has created a “Library of Things,” which is a collection of non-traditional items that you can borrow instead of buying, including WiFi hot spots, blood pressure monitors, a video-to-digital converter and a bird-watching kit. To learn more, attend our Tech Byte on February 11.
This month, challenge yourself to see how many ways the library can benefit you and your family, even beyond borrowing items. Bring your child to one of our stimulating programs, attend a concert, take a craft class, make an appointment with an AARP Tax Aide – the possibilities are many and varied.
We are once again partnering with Neighborhood Forest. Children can sign up at tinyurl.com/SHPLEarthWeek to receive a free sapling.
And don’t forget: Library Lovers Day is Friday, February 14. Loving your library is good for the planet!
