FLORENCE, Ala. (WHNT) — A new platform for library lovers across Alabama has officially launched on Thursday.
Founder, Jennifer Butler-Keeton, is from Florence and has loved public libraries since she can remember.
Butler-Keeton said she wanted to create a platform for people that allows them to share positive stories or experiences at their local libraries.
Butler-Keeton said there are 200 public libraries in Alabama, and she wants everyone to share stories from all over the state.
Here’s how it works. Anyone who wants to share their story or experience can go to the My Alabama Library website, type in their name, their public library and then share their story.
Butler-Keeton gave some examples she has come across.
“So these are community-centered stories, or stories of the kid who learned to know how to read and develop the love of learning,” Butler-Keeton said. “Just going to their library storytime, or the real person who got a new job and started a great career because of taking technology classes at their library or you know the senior citizen who is lonely and comes to library programs and connect with our communities those kind of stories is what we want shared on My Alabama Library”
The platform officially launched and is completely free to join and post. You can find the website link here.
