33 Reasons Why Your Library May Be Better Than Google to Answer Your Health Questions
Posted by: Dr. Mercola

With the digital age squarely upon us and researching a topic as easy as visiting Google, I fear you still may missing out on a MAJOR source of the truth close by: Your local library.

You can certainly find an amazing amount of useful information on the Internet, and Web browsers designed to accommodate multiple search engines make it easier than ever to over-rely on them. Nevertheless, the fact remains, you can't find anything and everything on the Web, thanks largely to copyright laws and such.

Your local library can be a treasure trove for information about your health, home and town you can't find on the Internet, if you'll take advantage of it. And that's only one of 33 reasons why libraries are so important. What follows is a sampling of the best reasons to include your local library in any research you do to learn more about the world around you and your health. Then, hit the link below for the complete list.

  • The Internet isn't free, but anybody who can walk or drive can visit a library for free.
  • Libraries are quickly adapting to cultural change.
  • Books aren't the only useful tools you find in a library.
  • A library may be the only way you can access news and research articles for free.
