Taken together, your library card now gives you access to over 22 million unique titles!

So if you don't see the title you want when you search our catalog, look for the logos shown above - which will appear at the top of the search page - to access the OhioLINK catalogs. It's your library - Super-sized! 

...and, we aren't talking about the fruit. Mango is an online language-learning system that helps you learn any of many popular (and not so popular) foreign languages. Mango is completely web-based and remotely accessible, so you can access it anywhere you are online – at home, in the library, from a café – wherever!

Mango's methodology includes all four key-language components (vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and culture) and integrates strategically placed memory building and critical-thinking exercises to help you remember and adapt what you learn.

With a variety of interactive tools and a rich visual interface, Mango makes the learning process exciting. You will develop real, usable conversation skills after just one lesson, and be encouraged to keep going based on your progress.   Click the graphic below for a brief video describing how Mango can help you gain proficiency in a foreign language.

Join us every second Wednesday of each month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. for an informal book discussion.  The books chosen for discussion through May 2012 will be available to borrow about a month before each discussion and may be picked up at the library circulation desk. The titles are a mixture of fiction and non-fiction.  The discussion is open to all adults.
