| Beginning Tuesday, May 28 we will be bringing a fresh new look to the library by replacing the well-worn carpet that has been in the building for 20 years. We plan to keep the library open during the installation, but be advised that some areas may be temporarily off-limits for safety purposes while the crew moves our shelving to put carpet underneath. Check back here often for updates on the project - we'll do our best to let you know ahead of time what's happening during your visit and share some before/during/after photos! |

What in The World? Where in the World? |

 There's so much international news it's difficult to keep up, but the basic facts are right at your fingertips. The Worldmark Encyclopedia of the Nations, available online from the library, presents easy-to-understand information on 194 countries and dependencies from around the world. Entries cover topics from banking and securities to climate, from government data to demographic statistics in articles that range from 6 to 42 pages. The Worldmark Encyclopedia of the Nations is just one of hundreds of valuable reference titles available from Gale Virtual Reference Collection located on the library's Research Web page.
