Welcome to the April 1st edition of Read All About It,
the Glenview Public Library's newsletter for book
lovers. We hope you appreciate the information we
provide, and that you will contact us at
4readers@glenview.lib.il.us with any comments or
suggestions.
| Why Read At All? |
 |
|
Located in the basement of a library is a little known
resource to many patrons: the video collection.
Patrons who find it difficult to find the time to pick up a
book, who just don't have the inclination, or who don't
know how to read will all want to take a trip downstairs.
While you are down in the video collection, take a short
detour to the magazine department and check out our
collection of TV Guides. Not only do we have this
week's, we have an archive back to 2003.
Throughout the building we also have many Internet
stations for patron use. You can surf the web, swap
email, and play games online.
With all the library resources at your disposal, you
never have to open a book!
