Public libraries offer much the same services as a university library, but the services are available to the entire community. Public libraries offer resources such as:
Checking out books, magazines, and newspapers from the library's print collection
Interlibrary loans from libraries across the country
Databases (example here)
Videos, music, and audiobooks
eBooks and eMagazines
In addition to sources of information, public libraries also provide a public space where all members of a community can connect and learn. These can include:
Meeting spaces
Internet access
3-D printing
Homework help
Games and book clubs
Computer and digital literacy instruction
