Parents everywhere become members of their local library for obvious reasons. Checking books out, getting the kids involved in low-cost or free programs and activities, or having a quiet place to study with lots of resources.

I moved to White Lake from Highland not that long ago and it occurred to me that I had not been to our new Library yet, so I jumped on my laptop and found the White Lake Twp Library website. To my surprise, my online application led me to several websites and resources for kids and adults that offered a free membership if you belonged to a participating Library! I said goodbye to my monthly e-Book subscription and hello to Hoopla. Here are some free subscriptions you and your family might like to check out.
