In this age of information overload, the Mechanics’ Institute does much more than just accumulate and lend books and other materials. We support members as they navigate the sea of sources both entertaining and informative. As busy MI members, who has time to sift for the nuggets in a deluge of content, whether it’s the “Best 100 Books of 2016” or 1 million hits from a Google search?
As a community of Mechanics’ Institute members, conversations and shared interests collectively guide us to assemble resources, services and programming that connect us to one another and with what matters in our civic, social, and personal lives.
Your membership already gets you access to amazing resources in many formats, events and an outstanding chess program, but we enjoy our conversations before and after programs, chatting when you stop by the Library, and purchase suggestions you submit. We welcome the opportunity to get a sense of what interests and excites you. In short, we want to be part of your quest to stay focused, creative, and informed in a landscape where information sources and media outlets are climbing all over each other and shouting for your precious attention.
Looking forward to these conversations!
