Libraries are a great resource for connecting with your community. Libraries often offer various services and programs for children, teens and adults. Libraries provide literacy development, language tools, accessibility tools, employment preparation, tutoring, cultural events/classes and more!
After you have found a library closest to you, you can search on the library website for available services – or you can ask your local librarian about current outreach services or programs.
