#Ode to my library movie#

Some of the most exciting events of next week include reading with dogs, free movie screenings and a discussion group or club for virtually any type of interest such as Minecraft or Suminigashi. While those types of programs help to lift up our community in a fundamental way, there are also a lot of offerings that bring people together for the purpose of fun and enrichment. I am sitting in Union South, observing the hunched backs and working minds of my fellow students, Read… Plenty of practical programs like “General Job Assistance” and “Basic Computer Help” are among those 70 events, but they barely summarize the range of ages and interests that Madison’s community programming offers.Ī Meaningful Monday: Finding words to live by I can’t focus. Our own public libraries here in Madison are hosting over 70 different free events for the public next week alone. The term community programming is vast: including everything from children’s activities to yoga classes, often times specifically planned to suit the needs of the community in which a particular library serves. In addition to the books, magazines, newspapers, movies and technologies libraries hold, they also offer diverse kinds of community programming.

By understanding the ins and outs of their building’s resources, librarians make sure that everyday people can benefit from expansive wells of knowledge and technologies that would otherwise be reserved only for those who can afford it.
