New Book Discussion Kits Available
Last Updated on Tuesday, 18 June 2013 10:20
There are 10 new Adult Book Discussion kits available for check out. You don't know what a Book Discussion Kit is?
Pioneer Library makes holding a book discussion easy. All you have to do is gather the friends and open the book. We do the rest for you. PLS maintains Book Discussion kits that have everything you need to have a successful group reading experience. Each kit contains 10 - 14 copies of the listed book, bookmarks, a manual containing discussion questions, reviews and articles and information about the book and information about the author all in a bag to carry them home. Each kit can be checked out for 6 weeks.
To browse the book discussion kits go to For Book Lovers under Services (on the right side of the web page) and click on Adult or Teen Book Discussion Kits. Holds can not be placed on the book kits through the catalog. Book discussion kits are booked in person. This allows us to make the kits available to as many customers as possible, when needed for their club's use. To reserve a kit for pickup at your hometown library call 701-1849. Please allow at least 3 working days for delivery. Kits may be reserved months in advance.

PLS has taken on two new databases that should definitely be explored!
ConsumerReports.orgThe Consumer Reports database assists consumers in making better purchasing decisions on whatever they may be shopping for. Consumers can search and browse through information about cars, appliances, electronics, home & gardening supplies, products for babies & kids, shopping, health, and money. The database also provides ratings for the items that people are interested in. If you are thinking about making a purchase anytime soon, browse this database to get the most bang for your buck!
Fold3 History & Genealogy Archives
The Fold3 database offers a vast collection of original historical documents and personal histories from the past. These valuable documents can help people expand their knowledge of their own ancestry. With a travelling genealogy program going around PLS for Summer Reading 2013, this database could help you get started on exploring an interesting personal history.

Students from Michelle McDaniel's class at Polo Road Elementary School in Columbia, South Carolina, heard about the multiple tornadoes that came through our state in May and sympathized with the Oklahomans affected.
To show their support, they wrote cards expressing their well wishes, safety tips, and positivity about the future. The photo to the left is just an example of one of the many thoughtful cards written by the Polo Road Elementary School children.
If you would like to view the full collection, check out the Flickr set called Cards for Oklahoma or you can also stop by the Moore Library and see them on display.
