This April during National Library Week, the Upper Arlington Public Library joined the American Library Association’s “Libraries Transform” campaign.

Rapid advances in technology are fueling a library renaissance. In addition to books, movies, music and periodicals, the UA Library offers an assortment of free digitally-based programs and services such as eBooks and one-on-one technology training.

Such tech-based resources are affecting lives through digital literacy and lifelong learning. The results are contributions to education, employment, entrepreneurship, engagement and empowerment.

By recognizing the importance of libraries through a series of “Because” statements, including on a series of banners hanging in our Main Library’s atrium, we hope to reveal their relevancy to those who may question why libraries are still needed today.

UA Library patron Elisha Koivisto uses the Library as a way to be active with her children. “The Library has helped me take care of my kids by providing storytime and crafts. It gets us out of the house and breaks up the day,” she says.

Have a story to share about how the library has affected you and your family? Fill out a paper form available at any UA Library or submit your story online at http://goo.gl/forms/UXGNwv92C6. You can also Tweet or post to Facebook by tagging us and using #LibrariesTransform.

Be sure to arrive early in order to fill out the necessary form.

Storytimes by the PoolYour favorite storytime staff from each UA Library will

be visiting Upper Arlington pools on select Fridays this summer to provide mini-storytimes during pool break! See below for dates, times, and who will be providing the storytime.

Please note that there will not be a storytime at the pool in the case of predicted or imminent rain, severe wind, or other problematic weather conditions.
