“Read. Read. Read. Just don’t read one type of book. Read different books by various authors so that you develop different style.” ~ R. L. Stine
August 9 is National Book Lover’s Day! It’s one of our favorite holidays—a perfect capstone to the summer dedicated to book enthusiasts. We’re thrilled to celebrate with you! Our libraries promote reading and literacy all year round, and this week, we invite you to join us in celebrating everything book-related. How, you ask? By reading, of course!
There are so many ways to enjoy books these days. Beyond traditional paper and ink, we offer a variety of e-book options. While physical books are still bound (pun intended), the world of reading has expanded with technology. With the Libby app, you can access free e-books on tablets, phones, or dedicated e-readers. Libby also lets you stream free audiobooks on your phone or tablet. Additionally, many libraries offer audiobooks on CD or Playaway devices, perfect for listening while driving, mowing the lawn, washing dishes, or cooking.
With your library card, you can explore all these options free of charge. Visit your local library to check out physical books or get assistance with downloading e-books or audiobooks using the Libby app. Why pay for audiobooks when you can access them for free with Libby?
So, whether you’re packing a book in your bag or downloading one to your device, let’s celebrate National Book Lover’s Day together! Join us in cherishing the magic of books every day.
“Books are a uniquely portable magic.” ~ Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
