Virtual Library 

Did you know that many people had libraries brought to them, instead of them going to the library?  Back in the day, books entered communities on horseback (read about the Pack Horse Librarians), book mobiles, and now, Little Free Libraries can be found in unexpected spaces. Check out this one! Or search for images, if you feel like creating one yourself.

Nowadays, we bring the library to you virtually. So much information and reading pleasure at your fingertips!
