Library Closes for 2 Weeks

Run in and check out those last books, movies and magazines you need! We will be closing for 2 weeks for the last move before the new building is complete. The New Castle-Henry County Public Library will be closed from Monday, November 28th to Sunday, December 11th. We will open our doors again on Monday, December 12th.

The good news: no late fees will be added during closing time. Very cool.

NCHCPL will also be closed on Thanksgiving - November 24th.
Enjoy the holiday and, in the meantime, here's a little Star Wars fun thanks to the Ann Arbor District Library blog:

Gamers: Cool Webpage for Free Online Game Searching

Love to play free online games? This webpage is the perfect tool to search for these games: Millions of Games (or simply MOG) is a great for not only searching your favorite preferences--

[Jami likes games with blocks in them. We went to Millions of Games and looked at the
popular tag (keyword) cloud and saw the word 'block' in it, which linked to all the games that were labeled, or tagged, with the word 'block.']

...it also lets you tag them yourself! When you tag something on the Web, you are labeling that game (or any item, etc.) with your own keywords that describe it. How cool...I'm all about the tagging. On this webpage, tagging your games is called 'mogging.'

MOG also contains pre-set categories to search in (ex. arcade, puzzle, shooter, card, etc.).

Sure, you could go to Google and search for the games you want, but why would you when Millions of Games lets you browse by keywords that are created by the gamers themselves?

Teen Read Week results

Have you read the results for teen read week voting yet? It's here at the American Library Association webpage. Nobody was surprised to see the latest Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series on the top of the list, were you?

It was cool to see an adult fiction writer like Jodi Picoult get voted on the Top Ten. It goes to show that you everyone reads from all over the place--sometimes it's not ALL about the YA books, right?

Feel free to comment on books that you thought should have made it to the top. I'd love to hear from ya.
