Going to the library feels like sticking your hand into a magician’s hat. Sometimes patrons get what’s expected and at first sight, like books, computers and magazines. Other times, they have to dig deeper and find an array of workshops and activities for all ages, from learning a new craft to checking out cooking equipment to getting new seeds to cultivate veggies or flowers. Libraries are not old hat. They have pretty much everything.
