I've tried to get friends to get a library card and they refuse, they don't like to read. I explain to them that the library offers free streaming services of movies, documentaries, etc etc etc as well as learning materials.

They just aren't interested as they sit in their lazyboy chairs and pay the couple hundred dollars a month of cable/satellite services and bitch about the prices.

The Oklahoma County Library System is a jewel.
Yes! The services are incredible. I know people who shell out $$$ for subscriptions to magazines, databases, streaming services, etc. I mean, right now Ancestry.com is completely free and accessible from home through the library system. I know people who pay for that monthly!

Libraries change communities in such a positive way; I'm so excited to see what Belle Isle will do for the area.
