THEY HOLD THE KEY TO THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
#LibrariesTransform
Public libraries are portals – perhaps not to a new dimension (at least not yet!) but to the past, the present and the future. In a public library you can explore your local history, your family history, even the history of your house. Library collections are also carefully curated to ensure that histories of all kinds are represented as fairly and comprehensively as possible. If staying in the moment is more your speed, you can explore latest releases in fiction, film and other media. And for those creative types out there, many public libraries are equipped with exciting and cutting-edge makerspacers that enable you to create something of enduring value – a podcast, an album, a work of art. At your local library, the possibilities are endless.
