Public libraries provide much more than a source of books and periodicals that can be borrowed. People can get online access and use computers, in many cases learning how to use computers from a librarian. Preschoolers can attend creative workshops where they learn to love reading and develop comprehension skills before moving up to kindergarten. Older children can use the library after school as a safe place to gather and do their homework. |
