Although I have been coming to the library for 30 years, I never took the time to check out all the other offerings that the library has available. Reference Books? How to guides? Music Downloads? On-line learning? Genealogy information? Home delivery? Interlibrary Loans? I had no idea. An entire room full of old magazines, papers, […]

Ever since I first heard of the concept in the early 2000s from a Popular Science article, I have been fascinated with the concept of 3D printing. It’s no surprise then that I leapt at my first opportunity to purchase an affordable printer as soon as they were marketed for consumer use. I have an […]

It has happened to us all. We hear about the release of a new book, movie or music CD, so we rush to our trusty MORE library catalog to get our name on the request list. The library has it! Great! But 256 people got there ahead of us. We do the math: 257 requests […]

I love my pets. They race to greet me when I come home. They recognize me as the human who cares for them and brings food. They are innocent and cheerful, and never fail to brighten my mood. I love them, and it saddens me deeply to think that many people don’t know how to […]
