Are you in need of some local health information?

Go Local Kansas (http://www.golocalkansas.org/) was launched on January 29th, 2009. Go Local Kansas allows consumers to find contact information for health care providers such as hospitals, county health departments, support groups, nursing homes, and community clinics. Users can search by location, type of facility, or a specific disease or condition. Information from all counties in Kansas is available.

Go Local Kansas is part of a statewide health information initiative encouraging Kansans to take charge of their health. Kansas Health Online (http://www.kansashealthonline.org/) is a health information web site, which launched last year and is sponsored by the Kansas Health Policy Authority and developed by biomedical librarians at Dykes Library. It includes information on diseases and conditions, tools and tips to make healthy lifestyle decisions, and a guide to health policy in Kansas.

These two web sites will be listed under our Databases on the right side of our web site.

What we’re reading…

Hello, I just finished a really fun read, the book Multiple Bles8ings by Jon & Kate Gosselin and Beth Carson. This story is written by the couple of the TV show Jon and Kate Plus 8 that is on TLC, our channel 36. I am also reading The Host by Stephenie Meyers, it is her new book about aliens invading earth by taking humans as hosts. A really good Sci-Fi read. Mrs. Murray is listening to Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis, a children’s book and a Newbery winner in the year 2000. This is from the state Audio Books, Music and More. We will be closed Saturday, February 14th and Monday, February 16th in observance of President’s Day.
