Library
It's true, Americans do visit public libraries more often than movie theaters. Surprised? Don't be. Libraries are hubs of activity where communities thrive. In tough economic times libraries give free access to books and computers, meeting space, assistance with resumes and job searches and much more.
Want more surprising facts? Watch this quick slideshow in honor of National Library Week.
