ith a lot of people using Pinterest these days, we thought it would be helpful to create a Pinterest account so our patrons have an opportunity to see what we are pinning at the library. Pinterest is an online tool for collecting and organizing things you love, similar to a bulletin board you might have in your home that you use for pinning invitations or coupons. Well, Pinterest pretty much works the same way, but it is on the web. You can pin articles,

STOW-MUNROE FALLS PUBLIC LIBRARY

JULY 2013

We're on

photos and just about anything you find on the web to pinboards that you create. When visiting our Pinterest page, you will find a number of pinboards that relate to many different genres of reading. For example, we have a pinboard titled, “Most Popular eBooks 2013.” This pinboard has current popular eBook titles that will link directly to the Ohio eBook Project database. All you have to do is click the picture of the book and voila it is available for download

or to place on hold with a library card! It is that simple. If you are not ready to download a pinned title, you can pin the link to one of your saved pinboards for a later download. We also have a number of other pinboards that will provide you information about our services and other fun stuff! Click here to visit our Pinterest page or go to pinterest.com/smfpl/. Happy pinning!

Ohio law requires the person signing the document to be notarized to appear in person and must present proper identification. Visit our website or call the library at (330) 688-3295 ext. 4 for more information. * This free service includes only simple documents of less than 10 pages and does not include wills, corporate documents, real estate transactions and documents in another language other than English.

Adopt-A-Pet Night Find Your New Best Friend!

PAWSibilities Humane Society of Greater Akron takes good care of the dogs, cats, and other animals in their care; however, what these pets really need is a loving home with you and your family. Visit the library on July 2 from 6 to 8 PM to find the perfect companion animal or to discuss the topic of adoption. All of the adoptable animals are up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, de-wormed, de-fleaed and microchipped before adoptions are finalized. All dogs over six months of age receive a temperament assessment by a Certified Professional Dog Trainer to ensure appropriate placement. Also, many animals in their care receive basic obedience training to improve manners and increase adoptability. Anyone wishing to adopt will have an opportunity to follow a volunteer over to the Humane Society to begin the adoption process.

Outreach Spotlight by Jessica Alloggia, Outreach Librarian

O Each month the Outreach Services team brings materials to various retirement communities and senior buildings in Stow and Munroe Falls. Additionally, they provide a drop off service to several area nursing facilities. For those who cannot come to the library due to age, illness or injury, the library also provides Homebound Delivery Services. For more information, contact Outreach Librarian Jess Alloggia at 330-688-3295, ext. 129.

utreach services are expanding. For the past year, we have been providing services to more than just senior citizens. We supply books, magazines, movies and music to a facility in Stow that specializes in neuro rehabilitation. In addition, we send similar materials to a rehabilitation center in Stow that serves younger adults. Every so often, this lively group comes to the library with their activities coordinator. The residents have a variety of interests ranging from old movie stars to local history. It’s always a joy and a pleasure to provide service to these two great facilities!

This month, Outreach recommends: Never Wave Goodbye: A Novel of Suspense by Doug Magee Lena Trainor puts her daughter, Sarah, on the bus to sleep-away camp for the very first time. She has big plans for the next two weeks, including fixing the problems in her marriage. When a second bus arrives

to pick up Sarah for camp, no one seems to know anything about the first bus or its driver. Now Sarah and three other children have been kidnapped with a ransom of $1,000,000. Suspicions fly, parents turn on each other and secrets are exposed while four children are living their parent’s worst nightmare. “This was a very good story. It was full of suspense and I liked it,” —Lillian J., Keys Towers
