Libraries in general have given me so much that it would be impossible to ever return the favor. Beverly public library in particular has given me hours upon hours of access to books that have changed my life, fed my curiosity, and opened my mind to countless perspectives both fictional and non. I’m grateful for the computer and printer access when necessary. There’s been many occasions I’ve utilized the discounted museum passes too. Thank you for keeping art and books accessible! It’s important work and needs to be protected at all costs!

The library was my solace as a child, a place to escape, study, safe to hang with friends and explore. As an adult, I have used it when my printer won't cooperate, as a source of valuable information, to research the history of my ancestry, to rent tools or other items when in need or to gather tickets for adventures. My step children have library cards and have started their own journey within the walls of books. We will occasionally grab a movie or just hang out there for an hour. Libraries are such an unbelievable resource. They should be protected and people should be made aware of ALL that they have to offer.
