Libraries
Libraries are available everywhere in the United States. Almost all communities have public libraries, and college and university libraries are also available. All libraries have pamphlets or even video tapes on how to use their materials. Most libraries offer free Internet access. The library is the one, centralized source of information on anything in the United States, even if you just go to read the newspapers and magazines. Many libraries have lectures, exhibitions and movies or host community meetings and events. To get a library card, you must show some basic identification. You'll be able to borrow books and records, audio and video tapes, compact disks and software, but make sure to bring them back in by the due date so someone else can use them.
