I have added the Kansas and IRS web sites on the right side of our page under Helpful Links. This year both entities are no longer sending out paper forms, all forms are found on their web sites. You may print out these forms at the library for 10 cents a page.

I will be working on this through out the next month. We do have some new books in by Sandra Brown, W.E.B. Griffin, a couple of biographies, one on James Naismith the inventor of basketball, and Warrior Princess about AIDS, Africa, and surviving, and more. Look on the New Materials page which is for now listed on the top.

I have read the new Joanna Fluke book, Plum Pudding Murder, she is similar to Diane Mott Davidson in that in her books you will find recipes for the food they talk about. Mrs. Murray has read a couple of Young Adult books that are interesting, first is Jerk California by Jonathon Friesen a story of a young man with Tourette’s Syndrome. Second is the book Shark Girl by Kelly Bingam, a story about a teenager who lost her arm from a shark bite and how she is dealing with it. Look for the new Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Michael Connelly and David Baldacci. We also have several new movies, The Proposal, Up, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Ice Age: the Rise of the Dinosaurs, Love Finds a Home and more. Drop on by and pick something up! And keep a look on the blog because soon we will be posting our closings for over the holiday season.

Today we will look at Chilton’s Auto Repair. This is provided free for the people in the state of Kansas sponsored by the Kansas State Library, KAN-ED, Kansas Regents Libraries, the Johnson County Library, the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, and Olathe Public Library. (You may go to the link by clicking on the name)

You may remember Chilton’s as those huge books libraries owned that you could look up all the schematics for maintenance and repair of your automoblies. This site has quick online access to repair, maintenance and service information on the most popular cars, trucks, vans and SUVs on the road today. This site is easy to navigate even for those of us who know nothing of mechanics. There are drop down boxes on the left of the screen to enter your year, make and model.  

This is found to the right of the website under LINKS, DATABASES, and then under Databases – State Library. Come visit us, online or in person, we have the information you need.
