Before you buy something, see if you can borrow it from the library\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Libraries offer all kinds of items on loan. “\u003ca href=\"https://solanolibrary.com/catalog/special-collections/#1611252737404-0cfc29f9-537b\">Video games\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bklynlibrary.org/locations/central/musicloan\">musical instruments\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.grpl.org/boardgame/\">board games\u003c/a>.

That includes a cordless drill, safety goggles and a laser level.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Reserve free tickets to local museums and attractions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In some places, you can get free or discounted tickets to local attractions in your city or town. The Nashville Public Library, for example, \u003ca href=\"https://library.nashville.org/services/community-passports\">offers free passes\u003c/a> to the Cheekwood Estate and Gardens (saving patrons $29 in admission fees), the Country Music Hall of Fame (saving about $28) and the National Museum of African American Music (saving about $27). And \u003ca href=\"https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=30806\">library card holders in California\u003c/a> can gain free entry to over 200 state parks, \u003ca href=\"https://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=23887\">saving patrons $20 in entry fees\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. Print out your documents at a discount\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>You can use the computers to print documents like plane tickets, concert tickets or shipping labels. There’s usually a small fee, but it’s often cheaper than printing at an office supply store or a shipping center, says Threets. For example, it costs \u003ca href=\"https://www.bklynlibrary.org/use-the-library/print#anchor5\">10 cents\u003c/a> to print a page in black and white at the Brooklyn Public Library in New York, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.office.fedex.com/default/copies.html?CMP=KNC-8000047-68-9-950-1110000-US-US-EN-123650:123823:2201363&gclid=Cj0KCQjwqP2pBhDMARIsAJQ0CzoVnNp_CfN8GU5F28Wv_0hYbdk6hepsPQdKcTy3eIWHXPEp6p5rd5caAvVGEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds\">23 cents\u003c/a> at FedEx.

Get free help with homework and standardized tests\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Your library card may grant you access to free \u003ca href=\"https://www.brainfuse.com/highed/helpNow.asp?a_id=394E70AB&ss=&r=\">online help from expert tutors\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.gwinnettpl.org/news/access-tutor-com/\">Tutor.com\u003c/a>, which offers live one-on-one homework help for students in K-12 and higher education. It’s a sweet deal, considering that hourly rates for a private tutor \u003ca href=\"https://tutors.com/costs/#:~:text=a%20tutor%20cost%3F-,%2425%20%2D%20%2480%20%2Fhr,%24150%20to%20%24200%20per%20month.\">can range from $25-$80 an hour\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re preparing for college, check out whether your local branch has resources for standardized tests like the \u003ca href=\"https://www.broward.org/Library/Pages/SATACTProgram.aspx\">SAT or ACT\u003c/a>. Broward County Library in Florida, for example, has a free 10-hour test prep workshop for high school students \u003ca href=\"https://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/articles/2019-10-25/what-to-know-about-sat-prep-classes\">that can cost hundreds of dollars elsewhere\u003c/a>. Aspiring graduate students can find \u003ca href=\"https://www.norfolkpubliclibrary.org/learning-research/test-prep\">resources\u003c/a> for exams such as the GRE, LSAT, MCAT and MAT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Librarians can help with school projects, too. If you need to research something, they can identify relevant books or order them from other branches for you. Bhat says a lot of kids come in looking for help with biographies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. Take free fitness, hobby and language classes\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some libraries often offer fun, free programming you’d pay money for elsewhere. \u003ca href=\"https://www.queenslibrary.org/programs-activities/health-wellness/fitness-classes\">Queens Public Library\u003c/a> in New York offers workout classes ranging from yoga to tai chi to Zumba, saving patrons potentially hundreds of dollars in monthly class fees at a fitness studio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Libraries can also help you find a new hobby. You can join a \u003ca href=\"https://www.madisonpubliclibrary.org/new/knitting-clubs\">knitting club\u003c/a>, learn \u003ca href=\"https://eriecounty-pa.libguides.com/c.php?g=1083575&p=7898482\">photography\u003c/a>, or \u003ca href=\"https://www.cityofmadison.com/news/madison-public-librarys-naturalist-in-residence-program-encourages-madisonians-to-explore-nature\">take a class with a naturalist\u003c/a>. Some locations will even let patrons borrow the necessary gear. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2019/05/30/backpacks-full-of-bird-watching-supplies-available-for-checkout-at-some-county-libraries/\">Libraries in Florida\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://libwww.freelibrary.org/blog/post/4850\">Philadelphia\u003c/a>, for example, have “birding backpacks” that come equipped with items for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/05/21/999050796/a-field-guide-for-fledgling-birders\">birdwatching\u003c/a>, like binoculars and field guides to help identify local birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many libraries grant patrons access to \u003ca href=\"https://www.bpl.org/learning-tools/language-learning/\">online language learning resources\u003c/a> such as \u003ca href=\"https://warrenpl.org/language-learning/\">Mango Languages\u003c/a>, a service with courses for over 70 languages.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>6. Attend free concerts and performances\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Save money on live music by checking out what your local branch offers. The New York Public Library’s performance art space, for example, has \u003ca href=\"https://www.nypl.org/events/calendar?keyword=&target%5B%5D=ad&target%5B%5D=ya&target%5B%5D=cr&city%5B%5D=bx&city%5B%5D=man&city%5B%5D=si&location=&type=4324&topic=4277&audience=&series=\">upcoming concerts\u003c/a> featuring a choir and a quartet. And people can \u003ca href=\"https://visit.lacountylibrary.org/events?r=thismonth\">watch a classical guitarist or a harpist perform\u003c/a> at different libraries in Los Angeles County.

Some libraries have bakeware collections where you can get baking pans.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>7. Access free social services\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In addition to recreation and entertainment, many libraries in the U.S. offer programs to support the community. People who need help finding a job can take \u003ca href=\"https://www.dclibrary.org/using-the-library/computer-classes\">computer literacy courses\u003c/a> and get assistance with \u003ca href=\"https://www.lcplin.org/job-application-help\">applications\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/browse/interest-guides/business-and-work/job-help-resources\">interview prep\u003c/a>. Immigrants can take \u003ca href=\"https://rutherfordlibrary.org/esl/\">English as a Second Language (ESL) classes\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.faylib.org/event/8809406\">classes\u003c/a> to prepare them for their U.S. citizenship exam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Libraries also provide resources for practical matters.

At Threet’s library, patrons can \u003ca href=\"https://solanolibrary.com/services/lawyers-at-your-library/\">book time with a lawyer\u003c/a> if they need legal advice. “We have volunteer lawyers who will meet with people for 15 to 20 minutes at a time on a monthly basis,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson says library resources like these aim to level the playing field. “The hope is that people use our services to educate and inform themselves, and gain wisdom about any topic under the sun.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"California library card holders can gain free entry to over 200 state parks, attend language classes and even reserve baking pans and other cooking tools.

They have led a series of protests in the past few months to bring attention to what they saw as “draconian” book weeding. Along with City Councilman Kriss Worthington, they also raised questions about Scott’s truthfulness. For many weeks, Scott insisted that only 2,200 books had been weeded. However, after Worthington visited Scott in his office in mid-July and, with a few keystrokes, pulled up a list that showed that 39,000 books had been weeded, Scott acknowledged that the higher number was accurate. His change of tune made many, including members of BOLT, lose confidence in him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of the actual number of books weeded came up again Wednesday night and revealed flaws in the library system that tracks books on its shelves. Alicia Abramson, the library’s manager for information technologies, recently tried to determine how many books had been weeded, she told BOLT. She ran two different tests and came back with two different numbers: one of 17,255 and one of 18,583 books. These were items that had apparently been discarded, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abramson said she tried, but could not reproduce the list of 39,000 items that reportedly had been weeded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library hasn’t conducted an audit — where every single book is examined — for 14 years, said Dentan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worthington, contacted Thursday, said that the 39,000 number was a figure spewed out of Scott’s computer, and he believes the number is accurate. He said he is mystified why library officials, working with state-of-the-art computers and sophisticated software, cannot get an accurate figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is something wrong with this picture,”he said. “They can allege our numbers are wrong, but our numbers are the library computer’s numbers. According to their own computer system, there are 39,000 deleted items.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worthington has emailed Dentan and Abramson offering to show them how the 39,000 number was reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is also room for confusion when discussing the Central Library weeding as it involves discarding items other than books, though the term “books” appears to be used when “items” might be more accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of items in the library collection has fluctuated over the past four years, but only by about 10% of the collection, said Dentan. In 2011-12, the library had 452,316 books. In 2012-13, the library had 487,746 books, according to numbers presented to BOLT. In 2013-14, there were 463,916 books. And in 2014-15, the library had 442,243 books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the speakers at the meeting, and at a rally beforehand, called for Dentan to stop the weeding process and to restore the librarians to their former roles as full participants in selecting and weeding out books. Scott had changed the library’s longstanding practice of using 34 librarians for weeding and acquisitions after a consultant said many librarians were overworked. He created a new system with two main librarians and four consulting librarians doing the work that 34 people had once done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The choice is very, very clear,” said Diane Davenport, a former librarian and former board member of the Friends of the Berkeley Public Library. “Return book selection and weeding to them (the group of 34 librarians). They know how to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan was not willing to go that far. She did say the library was not actively weeding right now. Then she outlined the many ways library staff can have input into selecting and weeding books. She made no suggestion that the current process implemented by Scott was not working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan did tell the board, however, that she wanted to immediately overturn another of Scott’s controversial decisions. He had locked out librarians from accessing a website that was a good source of news about forthcoming books. The Baker & Taylor website also has reviews and stories, and reading it regularly is critical for librarians’ knowledge of current books, said Dentan. They need that information to be responsive to patrons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armin Arethna testified that she felt “handicapped” working on the public desk without access to the information on the Baker & Taylor website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BOLT members said they agreed that the staff should regain access to that site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan and other members of the senior staff then told BOLT about how the library goes about deciding which books to get rid of. Dentan also explained how librarians make sure the collection has books of local interest – one of the issues that was brought up in the protests. \u003ca href=\"http://cecilepineda.com/\">Cecile Pineda\u003c/a>, a fiction and non-fiction Berkeley writer who has won numerous awards, including the Gold Medal from the Commonwealth Club award, told the board that the weeding process under Scott had removed her work from the library.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan said the acquisitions staff, as well as other librarians, look at books coming from local publishers to find books from Berkeley authors. The library also tries to do programming around local authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the BOLT board seemed pleased by Dentan’s report and thanked her for her presentation. But as soon as the meeting adjourned, a number of librarians came over to her and expressed dismay by the way she and Rachel MacNeilly, who heads up collections management, had characterized the process. Tom Dufour, a librarian, told Dentan there were some “untruths” in the presentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It (collection management) looks great on paper,” Dufor told Berkeleyside. “It’s unfortunate it doesn’t happen that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Looking Ahead for a New Interim Director\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, BOLT formally hired Dentan as acting interim library director and gave her a salary of $137,772. The board does plan on finding an interim director immediately, according to Darryl Moore, a city councilman and BOLT member. Former Library Director Donna Corbeil is not interested in the job, he said. Staff from Berkeley’s Human Resources department will look for a permanent interim head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BOLT hired a search firm to conduct a nationwide search after Corbeil retired.

They have led a series of protests in the past few months to bring attention to what they saw as “draconian” book weeding. Along with City Councilman Kriss Worthington, they also raised questions about Scott’s truthfulness. For many weeks, Scott insisted that only 2,200 books had been weeded. However, after Worthington visited Scott in his office in mid-July and, with a few keystrokes, pulled up a list that showed that 39,000 books had been weeded, Scott acknowledged that the higher number was accurate. His change of tune made many, including members of BOLT, lose confidence in him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question of the actual number of books weeded came up again Wednesday night and revealed flaws in the library system that tracks books on its shelves. Alicia Abramson, the library’s manager for information technologies, recently tried to determine how many books had been weeded, she told BOLT. She ran two different tests and came back with two different numbers: one of 17,255 and one of 18,583 books. These were items that had apparently been discarded, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abramson said she tried, but could not reproduce the list of 39,000 items that reportedly had been weeded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The library hasn’t conducted an audit — where every single book is examined — for 14 years, said Dentan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worthington, contacted Thursday, said that the 39,000 number was a figure spewed out of Scott’s computer, and he believes the number is accurate. He said he is mystified why library officials, working with state-of-the-art computers and sophisticated software, cannot get an accurate figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is something wrong with this picture,”he said. “They can allege our numbers are wrong, but our numbers are the library computer’s numbers. According to their own computer system, there are 39,000 deleted items.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worthington has emailed Dentan and Abramson offering to show them how the 39,000 number was reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is also room for confusion when discussing the Central Library weeding as it involves discarding items other than books, though the term “books” appears to be used when “items” might be more accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of items in the library collection has fluctuated over the past four years, but only by about 10% of the collection, said Dentan. In 2011-12, the library had 452,316 books. In 2012-13, the library had 487,746 books, according to numbers presented to BOLT. In 2013-14, there were 463,916 books. And in 2014-15, the library had 442,243 books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the speakers at the meeting, and at a rally beforehand, called for Dentan to stop the weeding process and to restore the librarians to their former roles as full participants in selecting and weeding out books. Scott had changed the library’s longstanding practice of using 34 librarians for weeding and acquisitions after a consultant said many librarians were overworked. He created a new system with two main librarians and four consulting librarians doing the work that 34 people had once done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The choice is very, very clear,” said Diane Davenport, a former librarian and former board member of the Friends of the Berkeley Public Library. “Return book selection and weeding to them (the group of 34 librarians). They know how to do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan was not willing to go that far. She did say the library was not actively weeding right now. Then she outlined the many ways library staff can have input into selecting and weeding books. She made no suggestion that the current process implemented by Scott was not working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan did tell the board, however, that she wanted to immediately overturn another of Scott’s controversial decisions. He had locked out librarians from accessing a website that was a good source of news about forthcoming books. The Baker & Taylor website also has reviews and stories, and reading it regularly is critical for librarians’ knowledge of current books, said Dentan. They need that information to be responsive to patrons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Armin Arethna testified that she felt “handicapped” working on the public desk without access to the information on the Baker & Taylor website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BOLT members said they agreed that the staff should regain access to that site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan and other members of the senior staff then told BOLT about how the library goes about deciding which books to get rid of. Dentan also explained how librarians make sure the collection has books of local interest – one of the issues that was brought up in the protests. \u003ca href=\"http://cecilepineda.com/\">Cecile Pineda\u003c/a>, a fiction and non-fiction Berkeley writer who has won numerous awards, including the Gold Medal from the Commonwealth Club award, told the board that the weeding process under Scott had removed her work from the library.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dentan said the acquisitions staff, as well as other librarians, look at books coming from local publishers to find books from Berkeley authors. The library also tries to do programming around local authors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the BOLT board seemed pleased by Dentan’s report and thanked her for her presentation. But as soon as the meeting adjourned, a number of librarians came over to her and expressed dismay by the way she and Rachel MacNeilly, who heads up collections management, had characterized the process. Tom Dufour, a librarian, told Dentan there were some “untruths” in the presentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It (collection management) looks great on paper,” Dufor told Berkeleyside. “It’s unfortunate it doesn’t happen that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Looking Ahead for a New Interim Director\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, BOLT formally hired Dentan as acting interim library director and gave her a salary of $137,772. The board does plan on finding an interim director immediately, according to Darryl Moore, a city councilman and BOLT member. Former Library Director Donna Corbeil is not interested in the job, he said. Staff from Berkeley’s Human Resources department will look for a permanent interim head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BOLT hired a search firm to conduct a nationwide search after Corbeil retired. While no decision was reached Wednesday night, the board suggested it would follow that process again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the meeting, a group of concerned Berkeley residents and current and past librarians held a rally outside the Central Branch on Kittredge Street.
