  1. I'm looking for recommendations for a Region 2 or Multi Region DVD player with HDMI or USB connections to TV that I can purchase in the US. Plug is not so critical as I can just use an adapter. TIA
  2. I'm trying decide what to do. Today I got a summons in the mail for jury duty, for U.S. District Court. It's not in the same town where I live. It's sixtyish miles away. They want me to be available for the entire month of December. I would have to drive over the mountains and it looks like we might actually be getting snow this winter. There are several fatalities every winter on this route. I'm a single parent, work full time and my kid relies on me for transportation. I can write in to explain if my hardship doesn't fit the usual one I had to choose from and see if the will excuse or postpone my duty. I wouldn't mind doing it if it was spring, summer or early fall, but in the winter it will be the pits. WWYD?
  3. Does your library have it on CD or could they borrow it from another library through Inter-library loan? Could they purchase the e-audio for their digital collection? (I do this for the digital collection at the library I work at.)
  4. We all just use a bottom fitted sheet and duvets with washable covers. Even the non bunk sleepers.?
  5. This is a couple years old. But, this is the veiw I am blessed to look at every day ?
  6. I missed yesterday so I am combining "blue" and " I see fire"?
  7. I haven't had time to read the whole thread so please forgive any overlap. I'm the teen/technology services librarian at my local library. My rule of thumb(learned from a collections development workshop) is that the books/materials I add to the collection need to be one of two things a mirror or a window. Meaning materials should either should reflect(be relevant to) your community or be a window to things they might not otherwise experience(the rest of the world). So, I would get some things that are similar to your highest circulating items and then I would move out of the "comfort zone" and get some things that are more diverse. We have found that having a display that we call "staff picks" where we have books face out will get just about any book checked out, especially if it has a nice cover. ;) I use these review websites to help me select books because I can't read them all, lol. http://www.shelf-awareness.com/ http://www.slj.com/ https://www.indiebound.org/ https://www.kirkusreviews.com/indie-reviews/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=kirkus&utm_campaign=KirkusBranded https://bookpage.com/ Feel free to PM me, I love talking about library stuff :)
  8. I've had good luck with them so far but, the return shipping is on you if something doesn't fit and you have to exchange or return. I only order from them now if I'm positive the fit will be perfect.(I had to send back some Bog boots)
  9. We're having T-bone steaks here. I have 600ish lbs of beef in my freezer! Plus, no leftovers to find some way to creatively use ;)
  10. WD-40. It will also remove permanent marker. :001_smile:
  11. In a word, No. I just got a Canon pixma mg2920. It's okay. I'm not loving it. You are supposed to be able to set your phone on it and it will print, it's nice when it works. Also I was spoiled by having a dedicated scanner that feeds the papers and scans both sides at work. Next time I will just go big and get a laser printer and a separate scanner.
  12. No definitely SSPX and another particular group that is recommended on the SSPX website.
  13. She's employed by the organization/county. I'm trying to find out who her supervisor even is, no one seems to know. As I said I'm undecided. A lot of the people within the organization are people who went to school together, are related etc. since we live in a small small town in a rural county. I live only a few miles from her, our parents went to school together and her brother was in my sister's graduating class. When I stir up a fuss it will stay stirred :tongue_smilie: There is still some lingering bad feeling from the year before we joined about something(not related to the organizer). My hesitation is that this lady is not going to get replaced and she make herself a thorn in our flesh.
