Alright, here goes

Welcome to Decatur Public Library’s inaugural blog entry. We’re still feeling this out, so bear with us. We always welcome comments and suggestions, as long as they’re civil and don’t contain profanity.

So, let me tell you a little about my library. First of all, it’s a great place to work. The staff members are like family and I’m surrounded by media all day long. For a bibliophile like me that’s an amazing thing. Fiction, nonfiction, DVDs, audio books—and it’s all FREE to check out. Let’s see Books A Million or Blockbuster beat that price. Anyway, enough advertising (for now).

The library will be closed Sunday, May 28th and Monday, May 29th for Memorial Day. Ironically, sometimes it seems like many people have forgotten what Memorial Day actually memorializes. So what does it mean to you? Feel free to comment and let us know.

Whatever your answer, we probably have materials for you. The library has books about everything from military history to grilling and plenty of movies, novels, and comics to fill the break from school.
