Comedian and author Paula Poundstone once said,"It's funny that we think of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing, bespectacled women. The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and community. Librarians have . . . sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate adults. Libraries can never be shushed."
In this Library Lovers' Month, let's grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the stories of how librarians and their friends help the community. Don't forget to come visit your hometown librarians.

Tax Season is here, and your hometown libraries are ready to help you find the resources you need to file your taxes. This year, taxes must be filed by Tuesday, April 17, 2012. April 15 falls on a Sunday and April 16 is a federal holiday in Washington, D.C.
Each hometown library offers a limited supply of the most requested federal tax forms and is equipped to help you locate, download, and print your federal or state tax forms. Library cardholders may file their taxes online from library computers, but library staff is not trained to answer tax-related questions or work in actual preparation of forms.
Please note:
- Standard charges for printing or photocopying apply. Black and white prints or copies are $0.15 per page. Color prints or copies are $0.30 per page.
- Hometown libraries are unable to install personal tax software onto library computers.
