Libraries across the country are hanging hearts and asking patrons to tell them what they "LOVE" about their library. It's also a great time to let your elected officials know what your library means to you and your community. Let them hear how the public access computers have helped you look for a job or keep up with family; how your student is able find help with homework; or how much money you save by using your local Library. Library staff hear stories like this all year. Let the leaders in your community know what your library means to you! ♦ ♦ ♦
