Yes, the holidays are just around the corner. If you are like me, I’m never as prepared as I would like to be. I've discovered some very helpful books with super ideas for parties and entertaining at the Liberty branch.

When the transmission went out on my husband’s Ford Ranger, we didn’t know what to do. The shop wanted nearly $2000 and we just could not afford it at the time, besides the fact that the truck was only worth about $1400. My husband was able to find a place that would fix the transmission for $300 if he could bring them just the transmission. When he told me about this situation, I told him he should check the databases through mymcpl.org.

One of my favorite characters from a children’s book is Scaredy Squirrel. Scaredy is an overly cautious squirrel who finds out that things are not as bad as he imagined out in the world.
Jeff Winston has had an average life. He and his wife Linda haven’t been able to have children, but they have spent the last twenty years together. In 1988, when Linda calls Jeff at work to talk, Jeff suddenly suffers a heart-attack. He feels the excruciating pain; he feels as if he’s fading away. Then, he feels himself breathe into nothingness and death, but how can he feel if he is dead?
When my children were younger, we used audiobooks to keep them quiet on long trips. They worked great. As my children grew, their likes and our likes in audio changed. They spent more time with head phones on listening to music. Now the kids are gone, and audiobooks have taken a regular spot in my day. Not only do we use them for trips, but for my ride to work, or to the mall. Audiobooks have become a big part of our library system, and are used by all ages. Now, for those of us who love to read, we can do just that even while driving, sewing, or cleaning house.
School is back in session, and that means another round of research papers to get started on, whether it’s high school or college. Luckily, the Mid-Continent Public Library has a vast amount of online resources to help you get started on these papers. One in particular is the Academic Search Premier database located under the heading Magazines and Periodicals in our research databases.
