\”Cindy Carnes leans over the computer screen at the Lakeland Public Library, guiding her daughter, Emily, through a reading program.\”

\”Nearby, Chris Cabrera cradles her 7-week-old son, Jacob, in her arms as daughter Sydney listens to a story.\”

\”For each of these Lakeland families, and for hundreds of others in Polk County, public libraries are more than simply a place to read or learn — they\’re a great place to spend some quiet time together.\” (from The Ledger)
