“What I really like is seeing people get it. I like showing people how this works. That really floats my boat.” 🤠 Lariat artist Doug Smith began his trick roping journey at his local library many years ago. Now, he gives back, sharing his lifetime of skills and stories with both kids and adults. Thank you, Doug! ❤️ #LibraryLove #Libraries #TrickRoping

🌟 The Major League Soccer All-Star Game is tonight in Columbus! We connected with the Columbus Crew to celebrate with the beloved and mischievous mascot, Crew Cat.

Keeping it fresh from the haircut to the bookshelf 💈 We partnered with 10 local barbershops to provide free books for children to read before and during their cut. According to Barbershop Books, Inc., kids at participating barbershops are more likely to be observed reading than doing any other activity, including using a mobile device! The New York City-based nonprofit partners with libraries across the country to curate culturally relevant content that cultivates children's reading identity. #Community #Partnership #Barbershops
