Education
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela
The value of education cannot be overstated. The knowledge and skills we acquire are the building blocks that allow us to accomplish things both great and small. It can also quite literally mean the difference between life and death. Since continuing education is important to us at Waves of Gray, we've created this page and hope you'll find it useful. May we never stop learning!

Library Resources
We love libraries! They offer so much but are often overlooked within the community. If you have not visited your local library for awhile, you can likely view their catalog and services online. Better yet, stop by in person and look around. Chances are you'll be amazed.
Find items in libraries near you at WorldCat.
Review the current recommended reading list from LibraryReads.
Catch up on the latest library news from Library Journal and American Library Association.
Also, don't miss the Library of Congress website on the sidebar.
