Libraries have long been thought of as a place for books. A 2010 report indicated that 75% of Americans held this view, up from 69% in 2005 (Kenney, 2014). My experience is consistent with this. When I tell people I work at a library, most respond with a comment about being surrounded by books or the dreaded \u201cYou get to read all day!\u201d When I represent the library at community events, people are often surprised that the library is still open since \u201cyou can find all the books online.\u201d They are shocked when I tell them what they can do with their library card beyond checking out books.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">When you look at mission and vision statements for many libraries, you will see statements like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">We inspire lifelong learning, foster creativity and connect you to resources <span style=\"color: #800080\">(<a style=\"color: #800080\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fountaindale.org\/about-us\/mission-vision-and-strategic-plan\/\">Fountaindale Public Library<\/a>,<\/span> 2026).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">We welcome and support all people in their enjoyment of reading and pursuit of lifelong learning (<span style=\"color: #800080\"><a style=\"color: #800080\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chicago.gov\/city\/en\/depts\/cpl\/auto_generated\/cpl_mission.html\">Chicago Public Library<\/a><\/span>, 2026).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">We nurture curiosity (<span style=\"color: #800080\"><a style=\"color: #800080\" href=\"https:\/\/epl.org\/mission-vision\/\">Evanston Public Library<\/a>,<\/span> 2026)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Madison Public Library sparks literacy, fosters curiosity and supports community <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madisonpubliclibrary.org\/about\/mission-and-vision\">(<span style=\"color: #800080\">Madison Public Library<\/span><\/a>, 2026)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Our mission is to inspire, facilitate, and celebrate lifelong learning (<span style=\"color: #800080\"><a style=\"color: #800080\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hclib.org\/about\/who-we-are\">Hennepin County Library<\/a><\/span>, 2026)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">These phrases create an image that goes far beyond an image of a \u201ctraditional\u201d library that is dark and stuffy, with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and dark, heavy furniture, and librarians who \u201cshush\u201d any noise. Libraries today are vibrant, exciting places that play an important role in supporting people to actively engage in lifelong learning, social connections, personal well-being, and more. In other words, libraries are a place for people of all ages to play, experiment, and explore.

I don\u2019t think anyone would disagree with that statement. If there is one thing most children do well, it&#8217;s play! At a surface level, play looks like it&#8217;s all about having fun. But if you sit back and really analyze what is happening, play is actually quite complex. Children learn so much about themselves and the world around them through play. In my former career as a certified occupational therapy assistant working with children, most of my therapy sessions looked like we were just playing. There are so many skills that can be targeted by playing. I could use the same activity with 10 children, and have a completely different skill that I was targeting with each child. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_44\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-44\" style=\"width: 498px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-44\" src=\"http:\/\/287.hyperlib.sjsu.edu\/hyperlinkedhorizons\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/554\/2026\/06\/PlayWordArt-300x181.png\" alt=\"Colorful word cloud in the shape of a thought bubble centered on the word \u201cPLAY\u201d in large purple letters.

Image made at WordArt.com<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">My therapeutic experience with play has transferred well into the library world. There are five practices that are essential for early literacy development. These are: singing, talking, reading, writing, and playing. Libraries are in an excellent position to engage in all of these practices with children through the programs and services they provide. When programs are planned with these five things in mind, children will not even realize that they are actually learning and working on crucial developmental skills. They just think they are having fun. Library programs can provide a low-pressure environment where children can play and explore, especially when program planning involves focusing on the process, not the end project (Bateman, 2023).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;color: #800080;font-size: 12pt\"><b>Play and adults<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Play is not just for children! While we have always known that play is beneficial for children, there hasn\u2019t been as much emphasis on the benefits of play for adults. I have also provided occupational therapy services for adults, and often incorporated play into my therapy sessions. I could turn any pastime into therapy to work on standing balance, core strength, fine and gross motor skills, cognitive skills, and much more. When a person is having fun with an activity, it doesn\u2019t seem like hard work. Play serves as a great distraction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Play can be a great stress reducer. It offers a break from the daily stressors, allowing you to unwind and let loose. Participating in play activities such as games, puzzles, and learning a new hobby, to name a few, is a great way to keep your brain active and help prevent cognitive decline as you age (Hilburn, 2025). Play is a great way to participate in lifelong learning. Just like children, many adults learn through exploration and hands-on activities. In fact, play is important in the learning process <strong>because<\/strong> it allows for such experimentation (Thomas and Brown, 2011). This experimentation does not have to lead to a specific end goal. Rather, just as when we talk about play with children, it is about the process, not the product. Libraries plan a variety of programs that allow adults to play and explore, such as crafting workshops, learning how to use maker equipment, board game nights, and more. In addition to the lifelong learning aspect, these programs provide social interaction and community building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">Play is not just something for children, and it is not just for entertainment. Play can open doors for learning, creativity, and connection. Libraries are perfectly positioned to support play throughout the lifespan. By intentionally incorporating play into library programs, spaces, and services, libraries can foster curiosity, strengthen community connections, and create opportunities for exploration and personal growth. Play helps libraries ful their mission and vision statements by creating vibrant, welcoming places where people of all ages can discover, learn, and grow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">References:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bateman, F.
