Urban Dictionary is a website full of definitions of
“modern slang” and other various terms. The clever and sometimes crude
descriptions can be laughable as well as ironic. One day, I wondered what would
come up when I searched the word “library” in this website. I earnestly thought
that the definitions would have a negative connotation. (Many of the
definitions were entirely
inappropriate). However, I did find a really cool definition that I thought I
would share with you all.
“library (n.)
An awesome place that is underrated in today’s society. Think about it – where
else can you chill in an air-conditioned place, that’s quiet, where you can
read a cool mag or surf the net, where you can take a nap, check out movies,
meet some friends for a game of chess or cards, read about whatever you like,
get free bookmarks, talk to some fine librarians, walk around aimlessly, find
out how glow-in-the-dark works….. and all for free!”

In a way, this is pretty true—even of your local library!
While it’s little difficult to “wander aimlessly” in our cozy library, you can
still surf the net on our brand new computers and do loads of other fun
activities on a hot summer day. Please do not underestimate the Wall Community
Library because we are doing all that we can to ensure that your summer is not
“boring!”
This summer, the library is partnering with different
organizations to make story time on Friday mornings at 9:00AM even more
exciting! We promote several books each month as “must reads” so that you can
know what novels are hot. We also have a reading program for kids and adults of
all ages; we even have prizes!! You can read more about the summer reading
program as well as other summer happenings on our blog:
http://www.wallcommunitylibrary.blogspot.com. Or you can stop in to the library
and ask us about it.
