Love Your

Library

Your local branch has lots of

resources to offer beyond

books. WD is working with the

American Library Association

to highlight amazing programs

and inspire your next visit.

What makes your library special?

Post a pic to Instagram and

tag @womansdaymag,

KEEP LEARNING

Get Home-

Improvement Help

The next time you’re ready

to tackle a DIY project, stop

at the library before hitting

your local hardware store.

Some locations, like the

Arlington Public Library in

Virginia and Olathe Public

Library in Kansas, provide

tool-rental services so you

can borrow instead of buy.

Libraries like the Oakland

Public Library in California

even offer workshops on

DIY skills, including basic

tiling and plumbing repairs,

and many keep zoning and

building code manuals on

hand. Prefer to hire a pro?

Library staffers may be able

to help connect you with

reputable local contractors.
