Why The Library Is Important To Me

By Samantha Tankersley

​

Shenandoah County Library is a very important place to me because they have a huge variety of informative books; friendly staff who are willing to work with individuals who need help; fun activities and a wide selection of books to choose from. I would live in the Shenandoah County Library (if I could) because I love to read.

 

Reading is highly important because it gets the mind thinking. It also relaxes the mind - that is, if an individual finds a good read. Shenandoah County Library is such an amazing place because the staff are so kind. Also, they have so many books. It's like I'm in Bookwonderland whenever I visit.

 

I highly recommend Shenandoah County Library to anyone, even those who do not like reading. The library also has other activities posted on their website.  Activities like game tournaments, reading nights for families, movie nights, etc.

I enjoy visiting the library whenever I am able because I'm a huge bookworm.

 

Reading may not be for everyone, but even so, reading is important. Studies have actually found that reading a good book can create serotonin and melatonin in the brain and also improves moods. I mean, who would not want a mood boost?

I know I love mood improvement. 

 

That's why I love going to the library: Going to find a great book and to improve my mood.
