When was the last time you went to your local library? Most people think of the library as a dusty, quiet place to store books, but did you know libraries of today offer you a wide variety of services for free?
In addition to the latest bestsellers available at your branch, with your library card and the One-Library, One-Card system you now have access to any book in the province. Plus you can have it sent to the most convenient library location for you. It's as easy as talking to your local librarian or visiting www.lakeland.lib.sk.ca and clicking on "Search the Catalogue."
Libraries don't have just books anymore either. You can also borrow DVDs and Blu-Rays for free, with no rental fees. Or try a talking book to keep you entertained while travelling on the highways or out in the fields.
Perhaps you don't have time to get into the library. You can borrow free ebooks anytime of the day or night and download them to your computer, tablet, or e-reading device. There is no need to go out in the snow and your books automatically return at the end of two weeks, which means you will never get an overdue fine. Visit www.library2go.sk.ca to see all the ebooks and e-audiobooks available to borrow.
