Our Library Deserves Our Support
- Free access to books from the Classics to recent Bestsellers on the “Hot Read” shelf at Samuels. (If a person reads one book per month, that would have cost them $20; the Warren County taxpayer has saved $18)
- Free access to newspapers and magazines. Show me a newspaper or magazine that costs less than $2 per issue.
- Free access to movies and music on Hoopla, as well as on DVDs and CDs that can be checked out.
- Free access to databases like Transparent Language and Ancestry (worth around $50 a month)
- Free access to educational programs that help both students and adults. I’ve seen teachers taking their children to Samuels programs during school breaks.
- Free access to use computers for job search, research, or just fun stuff. A big boost for those residents who, for whatever reason, do not own their own personal computers.
- One-on-one help from professional librarians (priceless!)
- Plus more
