Making Limestone Township Library District Portable on Vacation

 

With the Summer Travel season in full gear, the library can still be your best friend.

Are you driving to your destination? Find audio books or movies to check out that the whole family can enjoy on the way there.

Are you flying to a vacation spot? You can listen to e-audio books through Boundless, Libby, or Tumblebooks (for younger children) apps on your tablet or mobile phone.

Finally, if you want to take a book along but do not want to worry about possibly ruining or losing the book, you can always find something on our “free” turnstile.

There are many ways to keep reading while on vacation. Just stop in the library and find out how you can do it!

Check out our upcoming programing. Sign up for these programs by stopping in at the library, emailing Heather at hkeene@limestonelibrary.org or calling the front desk at 815-939-1696.
