Travel Resources You Can Use
by Selina Johnson, Wylam Branch Library
The days between Memorial Day and Labor Day are usually when most people take their long anticipated and well deserved summer vacations. When vacationing the goal is to thoroughly enjoy the time spent away from home by maximizing your time and the money spent on your trip. The decisions that you make before and during your trip will dictate as to whether you have a dream vacation or one that is a nightmare.
The planning stage of your trip is crucial, so do your research. Current guidebooks, travel reviews such as Yelp and TripAdvisor, tourist information websites, and maps are your friends. Selectively choose these resources based on your travel needs and interests.
Also, don’t forget to search the plethora of travel resources that are available at BPL. You can find resources that provide travel tips, destination ideas, and so much more. Many of them can be downloaded onto your digital device. It was refreshing to download travel guidebooks and e-books about my vacation destination through Hoopla. I did not have bulky books to keep up with on the trip. Instead, e-books were on my tablet and I could easily peruse and refer to them on the plane and in my hotel room.
Below is a list of just a few of the travel resources at BPL. So, whether you are trekking by plane, train, car, or RV…Enjoy!
