Free Wi-Fi @ Audubon Free Public Library - Audubon, NJ - Wi-Fi Hotspots on Waymarking.com

I was greeted warmly on Saturday, just before closing time by the assistant librarian, Maryann (and Louise who was working the circulation desk) when I visited. She was very curious as to why I wanted to photograph the library. How do you explain waymarking without sounding like a loon?

Built in 1957 (according to the stone out front to the right), this library grew in size as additions were constructed. Inside is very cozy. I was reminded of my school library in the 70s. They actually have a card catalogue...can you imagine! They also host an outstanding website which belies their modest size. When you first enter, a circulation desk greets you. It is a very warm and personal library which anyone with children would do well to visit. Recently a new computer was added, bringing their total to six, all with beautiful LCD screens.

They are also very up to date with other technology as Maryann showed me their MP3 stacks. These are "books" which plug in so residents can listen rather than read. They also have large print for their seniors or anyone with poor eyesight. Story Time begins at 11:30 am. Next story time is on Wednesday, December 2, 2009 & Thursday, December 17, 2009. There are also links for local students who truly want to pursue educational endeavors.

Libraries should be a center for communities; libraries like this, although small in stature, are big in community involvement. They are a welcoming, quiet mecca in our fast-paced, hectic culture. Sit down, relax and read a book!
