Its July again, where does the time fly?  This month brings long lazy days and probably some heat and humidity so it's a great time to stock up on books and DVD's , some for the beach and some to watch in the AC!  Programming is crazy busy here so check out our website to see what programs are available for both children and teens.  Adults can get in on the fun by keeping track of their summer reads and fill out a slip and enter into a weekly raffle.  Its a great time to think about this year's theme, "Building a Better World".    
Digital Downloads Make Your Vacation Easier!



Going on vacation?  Why not check out some digital content on your device for the week.  Either of our digital eBook providers allow for multiple uses at one time so you could be greedy for just  two or three weeks and stock up on content....and only have the one device...or maybe two, instead of a whole pile of heavy books.  Overdrive allows 5 books at one time and Axis360 allows 3.   We also have an option to view electronic versions of some of our most popular magazines.   Check out our digital options on our website.

 Deb Gustafson, certified scuba diver and award-winning Environmental Educator will visit the Nevins Library with her gorgeous underwater photographs of reefs and ruins from her travels around the world documenting the sea life and stresses in the underwater world.
She has been to several underwater wrecks and reefs in both Fiji and the Grand Cayman Islands and brought back some incredible images of coral and the effects of climate on these creatures. These are really beautiful photos and they provide for us a glimpse of a place many of us will never see in person. We hope you can join us to hear her talk and as always, refreshments will be served.
