Program Description

Event Details

Wright Branch Library and Campbell County Public Library are full of stories in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more. But there’s so much more to the story. Libraries of Things lend items like state park exploration backpacks, baking pans and cookie cutters, board games, vinyl record players, and more... Library programming brings communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, craft classes, and lectures. Library infrastructure advances communities, providing internet and technology access, literacy skills, and support for businesses, job seekers, and entrepreneurs. Stop by your libraries to learn more!
