Looking for a good book to read? Now is a great time to head to a library because April is School Library Month. For thousands of years, libraries have provided a space for bookworms to feed their need for a good read—for free! But libraries offer more than just books. Many have magazines, music, and movies, too. Most have free Wi-Fi, so libraries are great places to hang out, surf the web, and do research. And if you can’t find something you’re looking for, librarians can assist you!
