Are there even any books in there still?

Relax folks, I'm kidding...

TONS.

My local library is about half for under 12, a quarter or the space for teens, and then the last quarter is a split of nonfiction and fiction for adults.

So if you go as an adult without a plan or a request that came in, you may not find much other than the librarians latest rec or the newest additions rack.

For kids though, my local library is incredible. Reading nooks, educational play areas for the little ones, etc. Its wonderful.

My oldest is getting anywhere from 6-8 books a week right now, she's going into 2nd grade. Libraries are awesome.

I was just being a bit facetious. Referring to the fact that books with educational material seem to feel threatening to the current administration and the leaders of some states.

I know there are still books in libraries. 😁

Gotcha, there are some folks out there who think its basically a blockbuster with a computer lab these days, so figured I'd comment all the same.

Its a resource too few take advantage of IMO...

😆👌

Agreed! I know I definitely need to read more books. And my kids too.
