![What hyper local things are great about your library? [Graphic] "Our toys and manipulatives for checkout, the availability of resources like 24/7 WiFi." Red feather Lakes Community Library - "At West Custer County Library we serve a large portion of retirees, veterans, and elderly. We try to make technology easy for our patrons and offer tech when needed." - "Our Users." - Lincoln County Libraries - "We're an academic library with a kid's corner with colorading books and toys." - Community College of Aurora. - "We are a library/museum. This allows our patrons additional local research." - Fort Morgan Public Library. - "Very popular storytime and craft programs. Also as a safe space to hangout. We have students come in after school and they wait for their parents to pick them up at 5:00. Small libraires have time to enjoy long readers' adviory chats that create real relationships."
