Think Spring!
In anticipation of Spring’s fair days, the Library is pleased to announce that we have recently added a resource for those of you who like to “Get Away From It All” for a day’s outing, a weekend mini-vacation or more. A Gateways, Inc. kiosk that displays dozens of free promotional brochures on travel destinations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and New England is now a permanent Library fixture. It’s a cornucopia of “Getaway” possibilities! And, Gateways, Inc. is currently working on providing us with even more brochures on Pennsylvania attractions.
Meanwhile, check out the Online Resources section at www.www.catasauquapl.org where you will find links to many Lehigh Valley attractions under Museums and Cultural Attractions. Don’t forget to take a look at our new display on top of the biography shelving that features works on National Parks and New England- all great “Get Away From It All” destinations. I don’t know about you, but we can’t wait for Spring and the opportunity to visit area attractions.
While we are on the subject of great “Getaways” and Library resources, the library would like to mention that also at Online Resources at www.www.catasauquapl.org you will find Rosetta Stone, a foreign language tutorial program featuring all the major European and Asian languages, as well as Russian and some Middle Eastern languages- over two dozen in all! So, if you have foreign travel in your plans, log on to Rosetta Stone and learn a little of the language spoken at your travel destination. You will need a code to access Rosetta Stone, as well as a number of the other Online Resources. Just give us a call and we will set you up with a passcode, and you will be good to go! Literally!
Thursday, March 16th, please join us at 6pm for Hartzell Pharmacy’s presentation “Health Talks: Sleep Problems” In this second of the “Health Talks” series, Hartzell’s will again be offering free blood pressure screening. The Library is providing healthy snacks. And, last but not least, have a very Happy St. Patrick’s Day! “Erin Go Bragh” is the Anglicization of an Irish language expression used to express allegiance to Ireland. It has been said that everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day. Celebrate!
