On April 23, the Canton Public Library launched a new blog at www.cantonpl.org/blog. To encourage a sense of community, the blog extends Canton’s “library as place” to provide an online space for library patrons to gather and explore and to share ideas and resources.

The initial post invites the public to comment, saying, “We’ll feature posts from library staff on topics ranging from books and reading (of course!) to music and film. You’ll also find posts about library resources and events, plus anything else that’s topical and related to our community.

“Add your own posts about things that are happening in and around the Canton community–your favorite books, restaurants, places to go and things to do. We hope that this blog becomes a community bulletin board on which we share the things that make Canton a great place to live.”

Welcome to the blogosphere, Canton PL!
