Checking Out Marin’s Libraries
By Isabella Cook
If home is where the heart is, then the libraries that serve the Marin County community and its citizens are just that—a home away from home.
Local libraries provide near-endless opportunities for empowerment, enlightenment and enrichment, and they help to place the tools for success right at their patron’s fingertips. Whether young or old, successful or struggling, seeking the answers to life or just looking to check out a book on beluga whales, Marinites can find the library to be an invaluable resource and an intrinsic community fixture that provides a plethora of unseen services and assistance beyond books.
“Our community is a community of readers who value their public library system,” director of county library services Lana Adlawan said. “Community members of Marin have been flocking back to their local libraries, especially since COVID, and you can see they’re just so happy to be in a community space that values reading, education and knowledge.”
Alongside offering an ever-growing rotation of more books than any one person could read in a lifetime, the local libraries of Marin provide programs to promote education, equity and anything else that may fill a gap in what the community needs.
