Think your Whitby Library card is just for borrowing books? Think again! The Library Value Calculator is about to give that little piece of plastic a serious ego boost.
By adding up the books, eBooks, eAudiobooks, movies, magazines, games, programs, community passes, technology, and other services you use, you can see the value your library card delivers every year.
The calculator tells an important story. In a time when everyday costs continue to rise, the Library provides free access to resources, learning opportunities, technology, and experiences that you might otherwise have to pay for.
Are you a parent borrowing a stack of books for you and your kids instead of buying them? A commuter listening to free eAudiobooks? A student or small business owner printing an important document, using public Wi-Fi, attending a program, or learning a new skill without paying a registration fee? These everyday Library experiences can translate into real savings for you and your family.
But the value of a library card goes beyond dollars and cents. It creates opportunities to learn, connect, discover new interests, and access resources that help make life a little easier.
If you haven't tried the Library Value Calculator yet, now is the perfect time. You might be surprised by how much you're saving with one small card. Borrow more. Spend less.
