You Can’t Help But Love

BY KARA RUMBLE

Fall in love with all your library has to offer this month! There is something for everyone, whether you’re looking for your next favorite read, the perfect resource for a research project or a fun program to brighten your day.

Are you an entrepreneur (or aspiring entrepreneur) looking for tools to help you grow big ideas? The library has you covered. Explore our website’s e-library, where you can find free Grow with Google courses to sharpen your skill set, as well as insightful business information via the Reference Solutions database. Have an idea and don’t know where to start? Our Entrepreneurship Learning Initiative will walk you through the steps of starting your own business — from idea, to business plan, to action. The library also can support you as you bring your ideas to life — check out a sewing machine, use our 3D printers, or check out a Chromebook and Wi-Fi hot spot.

If you’re looking for free ways to have fun, check out our Library of Things and the event calendar. The library’s puzzles and board games (available for checkout) are perfect for a fun night at home. If you want to get out and about, make sure to explore this month’s library programs, featuring the regular storytimes, art programs, book clubs galore and more! Visit www.sequoyahregionallibrary.org for more details.

If you love reading and fun activities, join us on Beanstack, a free app where readers can log their reading and earn digital badges. (Sometimes, they also win prizes along the way!) This month, we are holding a Black History Month Challenge, in addition to our ongoing Beanstack Challenges: 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten, for families with children not yet in kindergarten, and Knowledge Base, a challenge for all ages that shares great opportunities for participants to attend exciting, educational programs.

Whether you’re using the library from the comfort of your home, or regularly visit one (or more) of our library locations, we enjoy providing our community with what you need to explore, learn and create.
