This little card is your ticket to a wealth of information.
By Aithne Emmons
As we move into the colder months of the year, it can be harder to find the time or energy to get out of the house and visit the library. Fortunately, the Garland County Library (GCL) offers several online resources to provide patrons with access to ebooks, audiobooks, movies, research information, and educational materials all from the comfort of home.
You can access these resources from the library’s web page gclibrary.com or through the Garland County Library app.
All you need is a library card, and if you don’t have one you can sign up for an ecard at our website.
The Libby and Hoopla apps give access to a variety of ebooks and audiobooks. Titles can be downloaded to your device and are a perfect way to bring your favorite books along with you wherever you go. Hoopla also offers a selection of movies, music, and magazines for online checkout.
If reading isn’t your forté, CreativeBug offers video tutorials for all sorts of fiber arts, crafting, and cooking. We also offer online platforms for research and learning. Mango Languages offers grammar and speech lessons in over 70 languages for free. Over a ten-chapter lesson plan, users will learn basic conversational skills in the language, along with basic language relating to food, culture, and how to ask questions. We also provide access to research databases such as ProQuest, which has information on an assortment of scientific, historical, and other topics.
Learn all about the library’s services and offerings at gclibrary.com, 501-623-4161, or visit us at 1427 Malvern Avenue.
