What is your library worth to you?
Do you use the library for computer services, to read magazines, borrow electronic books or audiobooks? Never mind the old fashioned method of borrowing books from your local library.
You may say this is impossible to know, but the State of Tennessee has set up a calculator to attempt to know this number. Visit Tennessee State Library & Archives to see this special calculator, adapted from the Maine State Library.
Welcome to the Perry County Public Library
“We would like to express our thanks for the privilege of working for the wonderful people in both Linden and Lobelville. Today we serve Perry County with books, movies, and audiobooks, and make them available online as well. Please visit your local library today."
