Anyone read any good gardening books lately?
Comments (4)I absolutely love using the library's online features! With 3 small children, I either have to make an extra trip down to the library after they are put to bed which doesn't give me much time before the library closes or I have to try and keep them quiet in the upstairs adult section which doesn't usually work very well. Imagine VERY loud voices asking questions like "Why do they have so many computers up here?" "Why do we have to be so quiet?" "When is it time to go hoooome? *whine*" Once I realized how easy it is to do things online, I started using it all the time. I can renew our books online so that I don't have huge late fees. I can put things on hold at our library like popular DVDs or new releases. They are always on hold for someone so it's much easier to get my name on the hold list than it is to find it on the shelf. And of course, the interlibrary loan system is great! I've found so many books using that. Besides the ones I was looking for, I've also found some by using the features "nearby items on shelf" and "find more on these topics". They have a pretty nice setup. Our library also has an ongoing used book, magazine, and CD sale near the front desk. I once found a whole stack of gradening magazines like Garden Gate and Organic Gardening for 25 cents each! And you can check out magazines also. In fact, I just quick bumped over there and put the last 4 issues of Garden Gate on hold (from Waterford library). Oh, and Julie, if you do a search using the words "fine gardening" that magazine is available at Burlington library plus a few others so if you need some reading material this winter but don't want to shell out the money for a magazine that you only read part of, it can be transferred to the Racine library for you. There is also a series called "Fine gardening design guides" that seems to have been put out by the magazine along with a few separate books titled "The Best of Fine Gardening: Perennials", "The Best of Fine Gardening: Shrubs and Trees" and a few others. Does Sturtevant have a library or do you use Racine's? If the bookmobile comes out near you, you have the option of choosing where you want to pick up the items and can switch it to Bookmobile. It's funny, most of the libraries only seem to keep the last 2 years of issues but West Bend has copies of Fine Gardening going back to 1997! I wonder why? Perhaps they have more gardeners in that area or just most storage room. There's a new book by Melinda Myers titled "Month-by-month gardening in Wisconsin : what to do each month to have a beautiful garden all year". I'm going to have to put that on hold. I wonder if they have Birds and Bloom magazine. Well, I'm going to quit bouncing back and forth between websites and just send this before it gets any longer. Kimberly P.S. My library's SHARE program covers these areas: Dodge, Jefferson, Racine, Walworth and Washington Counties. But I'm sure there are similar programs for the other parts of......See MoreHas anyone read Cloud Atlas?
Comments (18)I had almost slogged through the fourth story in the novel when I finally decided I couldn't justify the effort of listening any longer. Only ten or so books have I abandoned in my entire life --- I even forced myself to finish Jonathan Franzen's Freedom----and Cloud Atlas is one of them. If reincarnation is real, I hope author David Mitchell may return to some occupation that is both boring and cloyingly opaque. The movie is almost 3 hours. Not an unreasonable length, but there must be a compelling reason to keep people in their seats that long. The editing has been faulted as too choppy, but that could only improve the piece as far as I am concerned. Still planning on seeing it as the preview's post-apocalyptic scenes look the most interesting....See MoreHas anyone read
Comments (8)OH!! Do you mean they're a series??? Ohmygosh, I just finished reading one and laughed so much!! I could hardly believe it, because ordinarily I do not read that type fiction at all. Hubby and I were browsing the books at a thrift shop and that was placed on a tabletop, looked "different", so I decided to give it at try, and am so glad I did!! I want to read more!:) It was so funny, and Miss Julia's definitely a hoot!! thanks for posting this thread!...See MoreAnyone into reading large print books
Comments (15)My 79 year old father is scheduled for cataract surgery in September, but right now, the print in regular books is too small. He has pooh poohed large print, but my mother happened to find one on a "take one leave one" bookshelf in their adult community and he realized that yeah, this might be good! So I went on abebooks, searched for an author he had recently mentioned and put large-print in the keyword section, and found tons. I ordered two from a vendor who offers free shipping, and voila! Two books, less than $15. Late Father's Day present on its way. (He told us not to get him anything-they just downsized so "stuff" is not welcome.) Once he has read them, he can add them to the aforementioned book shelf, or donate them to the large on-site library. I'm sure large-print books would be welcome. You just need to know how to read the used book lingo-i.e. fine is better than very good, etc....See Moresushipup2
