I love my library because I can get everthing I need in one stop. I use InfoSoup to place holds on materials and pick them up after I get an email informing me they've arrived. In todays economy, there isn't a better bargain than my local library!!

Where do I start?? When we moved here nearly 8 years ago, the library was a safe haven where the ladies would make us feel welcome and had tons of patience to explain all features of our local library. I have spent my time, since, trying to pay back their kindness by volunteering in the summer reading program each summer. Even my daughter who has grown up and moved away makes the library one of her first stops when she comes back home...after all, the library is a very important part of our life.

I love my local library because you can have access to computers and newspapers for FREE! I also love that you can order a book, DVD, or CD from Infosoup for FREE! The librarians are friendly and always there to help you find what you need. It is a comfortable place to be!

I just have to say thank you for the library and wonderful librarians that help us out whenever we have a question. I have 2 young girls and we all make use of the library on a very regular basis. Infosoup is a wonderful tool that can be used by anyone with the use of internet. Happy to have it.

I love my library because it is a place I can go and feel comfortable. I can read (which I love!), do research, and visit with friends. Everybody there is so friendly, and it is like a castle or a fortress of learning. I love my library!

I agree w/ everything Jill said; i like using InfoSoup, & many of the titles i'm looking for may not be @ Appleton, but i can place holds through the system & pick them up usually w/in a few days. I think the staff are all very friendly, professional, & helpful!!

It represents infinite possibilities. It opens minds and expands horizons.

I love Appleton library because of the services it provides my family and me.I can order books on line, go to the library and browse, I can download books and videos. I love the fact that I can renew books without hassle. The librarians are always there to assist. Most of all I love the entrance to the library with its outdoor perennials and indoor green house.

I love my New London library. Where else can you get help with a knitting project and have access to all the books in the world?

I love libraries and the fact that you are connected with some many libraries makes it possible to obtain books, music, movies, periodicals, etc. of many different types and titles!
I want to thank all the people who make the Appleton Public library what it is. Whether I personally go to the library to look for items, that are neatly and logically organized, or use InfoSoup online, I have a great time looking for new things to explore and learn.

I love and appreciate my libraries, because I'm able to get media of all kinds. I'm thankful for the inter-library loan program because its given me access to books and other items that wouldn't be kept on-hand at my library. I recently moved to Wisconsin, I know very few people here and didn't have internet access or tv reception so the library was my only way to keep from getting depressed with the long snowy winter we had.
The people that work for the Shawano and Bonduel Libraries are helpful and friendly. I'm in the library a couple of times a week.
I'd also like to say I LOVE Infosoup! Its easy to look up items and place them on hold or make lists of books that I'd like to read later on. I cant say thank you enough to Shawano and Bonduel libraries.

I have been using the Door County Library as long as I can remember, starting with getting on the Bookmobile at the old Hainesville school, going to the old library with my school friends, and finally our beautiful "new" current library. I brought both my children to story hour and the Toy Library and now bring my grandsons on Thursdays. It has been a constant in my life. I love, love, love my library!

I love the Shawano library!
I'm an avid reader and the possibilities are endless! I love to wander the stacks, pulling books at random. I've discovered new authors and found some terrific books - and some not-so-terrific books. The music and video resources are great, also.
The Shawano library is a terrific resource for a small town; the "Library at 7" events, the reading contests and fundraisers all help to bring the community together.
As good as the library is, none of it could happen without the terrific librarians working there. The staff is friendly and helpful and really seem to enjoy what they do.
I could almost live without chocolate but I couldn't live without the library!

How do I love thee, library? Let me count the ways: over 1200 things checked out since July, 2006! We are a homeschooling family, and my children's education would be far less rich without our library.
InfoSoup is my most frequented website. Being able to put items on hold from home has saved me countless dollars and hours. I'm able to spend less money on books since I know exactly which books are in the system. I borrow those I can, and buy the rest. I also appreciate the fact that I can guess how long it will be when I'm waiting for a book or movie.
We still do buy plenty of books. I know a book is "purchase worthy" when we have checked it out three times or more, and have loved it as much the last time as the first. What a great way to preview books before we add to our personal library.
We also love the programs offered at the Shawano library--for children as well as adults. Thanks to all of the staff at SCCL!!!

I love our Clintonville library! We are a homeschooling family and we all look forward to our weekly trip. The library is an invaluable resource for us. I especially appreciate being able to place interlibrary holds from home and they are ready to pick up when I get there. So easy, so convenient! The best thing about our library is our wonderful, friendly, helpful librarians. They are simply the best!
