Gifting someone an expensive gaming console this holiday season? Here's a hack to help you save money after that big purchase: Use your library card to try video games before you buy them. Especially if it's the kind of game you'll only place once. #VideoGames #Christmas

Did you know? The library can come to you! KHCPL is one of many libraries to offer services where we can bring materials directly to your home. It's especially convenient when it's brutal outside, meaning you don't have to worry about bundling up to enjoy what the library offers. #libraries #books

Our team played a guessing game for what they thought would be on the cover of the new #WorldBook encyclopedias.
Guesses included space, flowers, dinosaurs, transportation and sports. No one guessed correctly!

Libraries are a great place to start for crafting handmade gifts over the holidays. For example, our Digital Den has tools like the Cricut, 3D printers, button makers and a poster printer. This space is a cost-effective place to start for thoughtful, unique gifts. #Makerspace #HolidayGifts #Handmade
