Pioneer Library System

From August 2010 until March 2011 the Pioneer Library System is teaming with local businesses to give you even more reason to "Sport Your Library Card."

By sporting their library cards and showing them at participating campaign locations,
card holders can enjoy added value for the card and increased appreciation for their community.

The purpose of the campaign is to promote the acquisition and use of library cards and to promote the use of local businesses and organizations.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that millions of American are out on the highways this summer. While the summer is full of fun - poor vehicle maintenance can result in a vacation turning bad.

According to the NHTSA, “hot weather combined with underinflated tires or worn out tread are a recipe for disaster”. With a tire gauge and a vehicle owner’s manual motorists can make sure their tires are properly inflated. This helps add a level of safety to summer excursions.

What if you no longer have all that documentation that came with your vehicle? Now PLS card holders have access to two vehicle repair databases from home. All it requires is your library card. Chilton’s Auto Repair Manual and EBSCO’s Auto Repair Reference provide your shade-tree mechanics (and even the more advanced garage mechanics) access to repair and maintenance information on vehicles both foreign and domestic.

You can also check out the federal government’s website dedicated to vehicle safety information, at http://www.safercar.gov/

On Saturday, June 26, join us at the Sam Noble Museum for “Library Day” at the museum. From 10 am to 5 pm, you can get free admission to the museum with a library card. If you don't have a library card, don't worry. We will have library card applications available.

The library will provide craft activites from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm and "dinosaur storytimes" in the Discovery Room at 11:30 am and 1:30 pm.

In addition to all the regular exhibits, there is a special exhibition from The Field Museum in Chicago called "Chocolate" that will be on view at the Sam Noble Museum through Sept. 12.  You can learn all about the wonderful food and its history.
