I know, I know, very punny. But now that I have your attention I wanted to remind you of the many wonderful resources available to you at any of the 27 branches of the Sacramento Public Library system. Who knew, right? I’m sure most of you, but with the advent of the home computer and more importantly the Internet, public libraries have sort of drifted off my radar. Well, Mrs. T has been spending a lot of time there lately and really turned me on to the many free features the library has to offer.
I’ve mostly been to the Arden-Arcade branch. If you haven’t been, you’d be surprised by the number of computers they offer with free internet access or the wide selection of CD’s and DVD’s you can check out. Each time I’ve visited the vibe has been rather mellow in spite of the large numbers of people there. Plus, right now you have unique opportunity to see a Princess Diana collection. I only say that last part with my tongue partially in my cheek.
Plus, our libraries offer the free statewide AskNow service which “provides immediate and reliable information from librarians throughout California 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.” Take that Google Answers!
For those of you with little ones try not to miss the 2005 Winter Fest with special appearance by Miffy (sweet little bunny…miffy, cute little bunny) November 20, December 4 & 11.
(Awkwardly clears throat) There’s no word yet on whether Sacramento Public Libraries offer everything in the world of literature. “No word” meaning I’m not gonna ask, are you?
