Resolutions? The Library Can Help

The Library has tools you need to make keeping your New Year’s resolutions easier than ever. 

By Erin Baber
Common New Year’s resolutions include many versions of the following: exercise more, learn something new, save money, and live life to the fullest. Whether you have grand plans to live a healthier lifestyle or to get organized, the Library has you covered with tools you need to make keeping your resolutions easier than ever. 

Resolution 1: Fitness. The Library has hundreds of books, DVDs, and digital resources on nutrition, cooking, exercise, and more. Use the Library’s online resources to download music and audiobooks to help motivate exercise time. Or borrow a yard game, jump rope, and fishing pole to increase physical activity in a fun way.

Resolution 2: Learn Something New. Besides all our books and films, we also provide access to sites like CreativeBug for arts/crafts and Mango for language learning. Your GCLibrary card grants you free access to these resources and so many more.

Resolution 3: Save Money. Your library card is paid for with your annual property taxes. So, get a free card and start using the library to the fullest – borrow books and movies, download ebooks, use free resources, ditch Netflix and use Hoopla, borrow board games, check out a cake pan, stream music, and on and on. 

Opt in to our free delivery service or meet us at the bookmobile and we’ll even save you on gas. The Garland County Library is located at 1427 Malvern Avenue in Hot Springs. Learn about everything the library offers, including free delivery, ebooks, special events, and more at www.gclibrary.com.
