Access to online catalog of library collections and dozens of databases for a variety of research needs. 12. Resources for homeschooling. 13. One-on-one help--get questions answered from a live librarian on site or by phone or email. Yes, I'm obsesseed. And will be for the foreseable future. Barring a miracle. Even then, I will never take library services for granted again. Do you? How much do you use your library? What would those services cost you elsewhere? Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. Di 2.

8 tell me a story:
They CAN'T close because of lack of funding. That's not the American way. (Sorry...didn't even check to see your nationality...keep forgetting this blog world is international.) Anyway...that is very, very sad.
Yep...I love the library! I hope yours doesn't close!
Happy TT!
OMG! That's terrible - what is this world coming to, truly? I admit I go in phases with our library and usually only borrow movies since I'm allowed to keep things out for much longer from the university library but still I would be lost without our city library. Very sad indeed.
...and they gots lots of books to learns about takin' care of pets! That's how Mommakitty learned so much about us! Closing a library is...stooopid!
I love the libraries around here. I always go at least once a week, and quite often more than once. I'm lucky enough to have two differant library cards that allow me access to at least five differant libraries, and it's all free.
I'm not sure about #8 on your list, but I know my local libraries (especially the larger ones) offer the services you listed.
I love our library, we're there once a week.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that! That's really too bad. If I win the lottery ...
Thanks for popping by my blog!
A library is a very important facility for a community. I hope yours will find a way to get more funds!
Thanks for visiting my TT.
