Welcome!

Paige Memorial Library

Your local library is a great source for books and everyone knows you can save money on books by checking them out at the library instead of buying them, but it can also be a great resource for helping you learn new skills, pursue interests, meet new people or socialize with friends.  Perhaps you want to try new recipes, join a cookbook club, share your love of reading with a Book Club, or get discount tickets to local museums and attractions, research your family’s genealogy, or use computers.  Do you need to scan or print documents?  Print black and white for 15 cents and color for 25 cents.  Bring your children and grandchildren to play with toys and build with Legos.  Join the Wednesday morning Story Hour and activity.
The resources that your library has to offer will depend on the interest of patrons and size and funding, which comes in part from taxpayer dollars and donor funds. These perks are part of the public library’s mission to serve the needs of the local community, says Joan Johnson, library director at Milwaukee Public Library. “Libraries are one of the most important parts of the social infrastructure. The possibilities for how you explore are endless.”
To take advantage of these benefits, sign up for a library card, says Mychal Threets, the supervising librarian at the Fairfield Civic Center Library in Fairfield, Calif. Then check out the library website or simply walk into your local library and talk to a librarian.
If you don’t see something you would like to do, propose it and it could become a program!
See you at the library!!
