October is Library Month! Here are a few of the things you've told us about the library over the years. The Nelson Library.... Is for resources & literacy: Is there for fun & work: I love the library for the personal connections I've made through programs & clubs. Is there when times are tough: Being able to use my computer when I didn't have the $ to get service at home allowed me to continue working. Pen Pal Club was an opportunity to make a friend. It's been lonely difficult times for me. Many losses. Is inclusive & accessible: One of the last free spaces to free your mind. |
