Go down to the bottom of the page on the very first EbscoHost page and you will see “New: EBSCOhost iPhone and Android Applications”. The email you get in response will have the directions on using the app. Works great!

This is because Ebsco bought out NetLibrary and you will now find the books inside Ebsco’s link. Just go down the page until you find “eBook Collection.”

They have all been challenged or banned from schools and/or libraries because of “offensive language”.

Banned Books Week is September 24−October 1, 2011. Visit the library and check out a book from the banned books display on the north wall of the main floor. See if you can figure out what caused that book to be banned.

We just have a few requests:
Please have a secure lid on your drink if you are close to one of the computers.
Please let us know about any spills or crumbs. We want to get it cleaned up so that we don’t have bugs or rodents come to visit us.
Please don’t let your cell phone usage disturb other users of the library.

This room used to be an office but has changed to a study room where no talking, music or any other noise is allowed. The “Quiet Zone” is for those who need a distraction free zone in order to to concentrate. If you walk past the circulation counter, you will see the sign.
