FEATURED FIVE 2018 LibraryReads Favorites
Let us help you turn your resolutions into results!
Get Fit - Exercising and watching what you eat are keys to getting fit. At the library, there are DVDs, magazines, and books to help you achieve both. Can’t always make it to the library? Check out what Flipster, hoopla, and OverDrive have to offer from the comfort of your home. Spend More Time with Family - We have events designed for families throughout the year. This month we have Family Game Time, Movie Night, and Construction Time that are perfect for families to attend together! Save Money - Have we mentioned that everything you check out from the library and all of our events are free? And you don’t have to worry about overdue fines if you use our online services like hoopla, Flipster, and OverDrive. Learn Something New - We offer activities for all ages. Come to one of our events to see if you like it! If you’d rather take a class, check out Universal Class to learn something new (www.myscpl.org, click Research, then click Online Learning). Read More - We’re a library...of course we have books! We have magazines and audiobooks too. Audiobooks are great for reading on the go, and our eBook and eAudiobook collections will help you keep reading no matter where you are.
