Libraries are the best! There are so many benefits to visiting them. And most towns have them, even small country towns like mine. See below a list of reasons you should be going, and how to make the most of it.
1. They are free
Free!
This will be you after visiting the library with all the money you saved on books.
Books can get pretty exy these days, even at Kmart the standard Picture Book is around $10, whilst at boutique book stores they are upwards of $30. You can save your pennies and support your local library for absolutely nothing.
2. They have so many resources
All the resources. Computers, printing, read a longs, competitions, story time. The list goes on!
I read lots of books, from mythology retellings to literary fiction and I love to reread books from childhood, this is a place to voice my thoughts for fun. I also like to ramble about things such as art or nature every now and again.
