2100 Park Place Birmingham, Alabama 35203 Dear Library Friend: How would you feel if there were no libraries? From an entrepreneur: “I turned to the library when I started my home-based business—it provided me with all of the resources and information I needed.” From a family: “We love reading, but the library is more than just books. There’s a feeling of community here that you just don’t find at a bookstore. When we need information for a school project, we head to the library after school and talk to the youth librarian, who always helps us find what we need. Having all the answers in one, convenient place is pretty amazing.” From a job seeker: “I've used the library to teach myself everything from auto repair to how to use computers. I'm getting my degree and have financial aid because of the library.” Walk into any neighborhood library these days and you'll see hope - along with lives changing. Children are overcoming hurdles, becoming stronger readers and enriching their learning experiences at our programs. Seniors and families who are living on less are getting information, advice and are able to use libraries’ free entertainment resources. The unemployed are attending free classes to gain job-hunting skills and getting the support and Internet access they need. Your gift will help us. . .
