Land O' Lakes Public Library: December 4, 2024

Are you already planning your winter or spring vacation? The Land O’ Lakes Library has you covered. With a library card, patrons can access language lessons for free through a website called Transparent Languages. Look for the link on the LOL Library website. There are quick lessons specifically geared toward travel. The library can order travel guides for many destinations through interlibrary loan. Plan and dream about an upcoming vacation through books.
When ready to leave for a trip, stop at the library and take a look at the “Reads for the Road” racks of paperbacks. These books are available free of charge and they do not need to be checked out or returned. If it’s preferred to download audiobooks or eBooks, try the Libby app.
With a library card, you have access to an entire online library of options. Land O’ Lakes Library staff would be happy to teach you how to use Libby. All you need is a smartphone or tablet.
