I Can Do What at the Trenton Veterans Memorial Library?

Here are 5 things you may or may not know about your library.

Libraries are often overlooked as places that can provide free or low-cost entertainment in the community. Here are 5 things you may, or may not, know about the Trenton Veterans Memorial Library.

1. Did you know you can check out free one-day passes to any state park, state forest campground or pathway at the Trenton Veterans Memorial Library? These passes are valid for seven days from checkout and can be used all over the state, or right here at home in the Highland Recreation Area and Pontiac Lake State Parks.

2. Parks and campgrounds not your thing? You can use your library card to print a pass, at your home or at the library, to one of 60 participating museums across the state. The passes will give you either complimentary or reduced admission. Popular museums include Cranbrook Art Museum, the Holocaust Memorial Center and the Detroit Institute of Arts. 

3. Don't want to spend $10 going to a movie or a few dollars renting from Redbox? Check out the movie selection. You might be surprised to see many new releases and classic favorites. 

4. Did you know that you can now rent e-books for your Kindle, Nook, iPad or tablet through the library? Bacon Memorial Library has extensive e-book catalogs. You can search book titles and more on their websites.

5. Whether you want to join a book club, learn to sew or learn to crochet - the library has a class for you. The library has a calendar full of events for all ages. Check out what they have to offer and join in the fun.

The Trenton Veterans Memorial Library is open Monday - Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The calendar of events can be found here.
