This article describes the new initiative of the Paschalville Branch Library, where their “tiebrary” features a display of ties available to borrow three weeks at a time, for no cost.
Libraries are increasingly being used for more than just checking out books. They are spaces where community members can use resources, especially when they are trying to find a job. People come to use the computers to fill out job applications or work on resumes. Now they can return to the Paschalville Library to help get outfitted for their job interviews!
