I have always admired those people who persevere and get their words published. Be it fiction, nonfiction or children’s authors, what they all have in common is an idea that they want to share with others. It is not always an easy path; many times they will be rejected or forced to compromise to get their […]
One of the things I have enjoyed over the years is collecting fashion pins. I started collecting when I was in college. I would pick pins up at garage sales, discount stores and when they were on sale elsewhere. I have enjoyed my collection for many years. I used to display them in material covered […]
When a customer has trouble printing on one of our computers, I will go over and use the CTRL+P command to get the computer to print for them. Often the customer is surprised as they did not know that command. In fact there are lots of control key shortcuts that can be used to do […]
The library is now offering Wi-Fi hotspots for two week checkouts (the process and time limits are the same as our iPad airs)! You can use them anywhere that Sprint is available. In your home, car, school, the park or anywhere else you can think of. The hotspots work just like wireless and more than […]

I know it is not quite here, but it is close. I am looking forward to 2016, as this year has not been the best I have ever had. For me 2016 is bright with promise, a new beginning with all sorts of possibilities. Nearly everyone considers New Year’s as a time to reflect on the […]
When I was reminded that it was my turn to do a blog, I had no idea what I would write. I decided to look at Chases Annual Events 2015 for inspiration. As most months go, there are a lot of activities in October. I thought I would share some of them with you. People […]
I have often wondered where the phrase “The dog days of summer” came from, so I decided to look it up. Like most casual internet surfers, I took a look at Wikipedia. I thought their take on my quest was interesting, Wikipedia states: Paul Harris and Tom Jorgensen of The Old Farmer’s Almanac write “The phrase Dog Days […]
The other day our Library Director sent an email to us about “what happens to your online accounts when you die?” from a website called Webtrends . I had never thought about this, but just like any other account these will need to be closed out when you are gone. Having a safe place for […]
