LINC, Library Innovation Center, has books and quite a few DVDs, probably more than any video rental store, if any of those are left. But saying LINC has books and movies is like saying our solar system has our moon. Matthew Hortt, the Executive Director for the High Plains district, calls it an “activity hub” instead of a library.
