“Beacon of Light…Anchor of the Community”
Libraries are the cornerstones of communities and there are many offerings for your advantage. Get involved somewhere: church, a sports team, a book club, or a place to volunteer. This goes for anywhere you live. Anywhere can be made to feel like home once you find your people. Everyone needs people with similar goals or interests to feel like they are a part of something bigger than themselves. It can be challenging at first. Friends and activities are what is important. Go find them!
