More Titles Added to Kindles

We have added four more titles to our six Kindles: 

• Flash mobs, riots, and martial law in America: a special report on the demise of America as we know it
• The best of me / Nicholas Sparks
• Jack Kennedy / Chris Matthews
• Secret daughter / Shilpi Somaya Gowda

We plan to add a few popular titles each month.  The Kindles circulate for three weeks with no renewal. If you want to borrow one and they are all checked out, you can place a hold using our online catalog and we will notify you when one becomes available.

Library Closed November 11

The library will be closed on November 11 in honor of Veterans Day.

Learn a Language!

The Student Tech Fee funds access to Mango Languages, a learning tool for learning a different language. Mango has many languages, including popular ones like Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, German, Mandarin Chinese, Greek, Italian, Russian, Arabic, and more, including the tongue-in-cheek Pirate. Argh!  It also has English for speakers of many foreign languages and is fairly user-friendly. Try it now!

You can access Mango through the library web site from our Databases A-Z list and the Databases by Subject page. The Century community can use it off campus, but you will need to use the barcode from the back of your ID as your login and your last name as your password. Users will also probably want to sign up for a free account that can track their progress.

If you plan to travel or just want to increase your skills, sign up for a free account and start today.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is November 11. In observance of Veterans Day, the library display case is featuring books to remember veterans and the wars they fought. The display is showcasing books and images related to veterans and their service. Featured book topics include: World War I and II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War through Afghanistan and Iraq as well as personal stories and recollections of veterans. Veterans Day honors all American veterans, both living and dead but is largely intended to honor and thank living veterans who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime. Please thank and honor our veterans this November for their sacrifice and dedication.
