Lazy days of summer


Slowly but surely, the warm days build. What can one do when it gets too hot to play outside? NPR published a list of summer reading suggestions for 2010. They include a link to Nancy Pearl's list from 2009. I admit, I missed the list from 2009. I'm grateful for the North Metro campus Library assistants efforts at keeping all of us informed!

I'm going to do Inter Library Loan (ILL) requests for the novels that intrigue me on Nancy's 2009 list! I'm thankful libraries are willing to share their resources.

I'll go to GALILEO
...select Databases A-Z
.....select W
........go to WorldCat
-type the title
-click search
-then select "Borrow this item from another library"
-fill in the form and our Inter Library Loan department will follow through!
It takes about ten days to get a book through ILL. Well, worth the time.

Get the password for GALILEO from your Georgia librarian.
