Celebrating National Library Week this week, Clarkston Independence District Library has teamed up with local businesses.
“They’re doing a special program where you go in and show your library card,” said Business Librarian Melissa Henry. “They’ll be giving different kinds of discounts, like admission discounts and things like that.”
Participating businesses include Fort Clarkston, Picasso’s Grapevine, Kruse’s Deer Lake Inn, Brightside Dental, Bellezz Salon & Boutique, Drouin Solutions and Rainforest Café.
Public libraries are “a really cool American phenomenon,” Henry said. “We have public libraries so they’re funded by the public for the public. So it’s like the most basic form of democracy.”
