Small Libraries are Something Special
At a small branch like CADL Foster, we get to really know the community. And they get to know us. We become familiar with their interests and can more easily anticipate their needs. Members have access to the collection of CADL’s large library system, but inside our doors the collection cared for by our Librarians is tailored to the community’s needs and interests.
It’s not just the collection or the community we get to know, but our members too. We care about you and yours – And as the kids grow and their interests change we’re there to help support them.
With the Foster branch located in walking distance of the surrounding neighborhoods, it has become an important part of the community. Our members tend to be passionate library supporters. They enthusiastically support us during our times of need, like during a millage. They also spread the word in the community about what we have to offer. One member kindly shared,
So don’t judge a library by its size – They can have much more of an impact and contain more information than what meets the eye!
