Mohave County Library, LHC

With its 50,000 residents, Lake Havasu City is still considered a small town. However, it is also host to thousands of "Snow Birds" each Winter season. These are the folks who leave their blustery residences behind to fly south for a few months. Many camp out in their RVs; while others own part-time homes here. Upon first entrance, one might consider the library in Havasu to be small and incomparable to those in larger cities. However, actual experience with the library proves otherwise. The new book selection is always current and expansive. Staff members joke that they are the new "Blockbuster." Can I say that? Now that Blockbuster has gone belly-up? At any rate, the selection is superb.

They also have a lot of fun programs. Older patrons appreciate the free computer classes. Teens enjoy the T-Zone (complete with 3 televisions, 3 game consoles, 10 computers, 3 MACs, and, of course, BOOKS). And, in the Kid-Zone, the youngest patrons can attend Story-Time or Sunshine Soup, plus a slew of ongoing activities.** **The Dia de los Muertos celebration was one of my favorites.

This library also has the Book Nook Cafe, where patrons can buy a snack from the vending machine, grab a book, and eat at one of three tables in a quaint atmosphere. Friends of the Library sell hundreds of items in the Book Nook, and some books are as cheap as a quarter! There's also a free magazine and puzzle exchange program, so take one and leave one.

While black-and-white print jobs and copies will cost the patron a "whopping" fifteen cents per page, the free fax machine remains a highly prized aspect of this library. As with most libraries, the Lake Havasu City Library also offers free wifi and computer usage. Just use your library card or ask for a guest pass.

NOTE: Many library users still don't know about the free databases offered. Whether you want to learn a new language, gain homework help, or research your ancestry, check out your local library to see what they have subscribed to. In addition, be sure to check out their availability of E-books.
You just can't beat FREE.
