Books for Free??? - Yes, Borrow Them!

THE FRASER PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Fraser Public Library is conveniently located off of 14 Mile between Utica and Hayes.  The library seems to be one of the main hubs for the city.  The library hosts many events, which you can find on their website, for adults as well as children.  They have authors visit to talk about their books, highlight different events in history as well as special event and craft days for the holidays.

Another event, which I attend religiously, is their used book sale!   I love looking through retired books, videos, and magazines from the library itself or from patrons that have donated them for the benefit of the library.  There is actually one scheduled for this month; March, 26 2011 - April 1, 2011.  (March 26th is preview day and there is $1.00 entry fee.  Don't worry though, there is always plenty if you don't want to go on the first day!)

Did you know that you can also get museum passes from the library with your library card?  They have a substansial list of museums and historical buildings that participate in the program.  I personally visited the Eleanor and Edsel Ford House with the benefit of the passes.  There's no guarantee how long they will be providing this, so take advantage of it if you can.

I love going to the library to review a new book first, for FREE, before I decide if I want to buy it or not!  (love that!)

The library also has tax forms.  There is a large table filled with the most commonly used forms for free.

Also, patrons have access to the internet, rental of CDs, DVDs, books on tape and magazines.  Did you know that you can also reserve a book online and pick it up at the library at a later date?  Also, you can reserve books from other libraries in the network and have them sent to the Fraser Library for you to pick up too.

 

The Pioneer Cemetery lies behind the parking lot of the library parking lot.  It was established in 1864.

This butterfly chair sits just outside the main entrance to the library.


A visit to the library is quiet, educational, beneficial, free and can be fun!  When was the last time you were there?
