Do you love superheroes? Did you enjoy the summer of superhero movies?
Check out our New Stuff page to see all the Superman, Batman, Thor, Captain America and Runaways comics that just came in.
Check back soon as more comic books are on their way, not to mention the DVDs of the all this past summer’s blockbusters!
Did you know that you can now check out Portable DVD Players from the Library?
The check-out length is a week, the same as a DVD. It even comes with a case that enables you to hang it between the front car seats so that everyone in the backseat can watch a movie!
So maybe you’re going somewhere the Labor Day weekend and are going to have a long car trip? Checking out a Portable DVD Player from the library plus some movies would be a great way to pass the time!
Just ask at the front desk!
So school is back in session. And a new school year means new homework and things to learn.
Are you finding you need a little extra help? Why not try some online tutoring?
The Library subscribes to a program called Brainfuse, where you can get live, online help with grades k-12 in math, science, social studies and English/language arts.
You chat with a tutor to ask a question, use an interactive, online chalkboard to get help with geometry or equations, or submit a paper to their writing lab and get helpful feedback via email. There are also skills building lessons, practice tests, and a language lab.
Give it a try today! Come in to the library and access Brainfuse on our computers, or try it through our website by visiting our database page.
Do you ride your bike to the library but don’t have a way to lock it up to keep it safe?
Now you can use your library card to check out a 
bike lock from the front desk! Use it to lock up your bike while you are at the library. Then just return it when you leave!
It’s back to school time! For those of you anxious about starting kindergarten or 1st grade, try a fun & friendly, encouraging book off of our Back-to-School booklist to see how fun school can be!
