Talk to the Frackville Library

Libraries aren’t what they used to be…. quiet, dusty repositories of the classics where the bookworms among us banded together to wile away the hours reading in blessed silence, or the studious type came to do their homework. Back then, you wouldn’t hear much more than pencils scratching paper and quite possibly a pin drop. For better or worse, those days are gone. Libraries can be noisy, busy places. In fact, some libraries don’t even look like libraries anymore. Those old beat up tables and chairs we used to carve our names into are gone…replaced with comfortable sofas and chairs to lounge in. Libraries now sport coffee bars, and computer labs. We serve a broader range of the people in our communities by offering programs for all ages. Not just story times,and book discussions, but chess clubs, and knitting groups, and computer classes for seniors. This blog is just another way to try and serve our community. I hope you will make good use of it. You can start by giving us some ideas for future programs, or anything else you would like to see us offer in the future. For now, we can’t offer the comfortable couches or coffee, but we will make you feel welcome :-)
