Useful Web sites, word puzzles provide summer activities at the Little Elm Public Library
By Tina Hager
I don’t know if you have noticed it or not, but things are not made as well as they were “back in the day”. Luckily the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has a site that you can check for recalls and also sign up for free recall announcements by email. Visit www.CPSC.gov to register for the emails. While there you will also find their “Most Wanted” list, along with links to their “especially for kids” site (complete with gift ideas), ways to report an unsafe product, and they even have job announcements. I was very impressed with the amount of information available to consumers regarding product safety so I recommend taking the time to check it out and let me know what you think.
After checking out the CPSC site, don’t forget to make time to pick up a new book to read at your library. Bestsellers added this week include “Lowcountry Summer” by Dorothea Benton Frank; “Frankenstein: Lost Souls” by Dean Koontz; “The Overton Window” by Glenn Beck; “Whiplash” by Catherine Coulter; and “Medium Raw: a Bloody Valentine To the World of Food And The People Who Cook” by Anthony Bourdain. Bestselling audio added is “The New Good Life: Living Better Than Ever In An Age Of Less” by John Robbins.
Reading is a great way to spend some of your free time. Another thing that is fun to read and do is word puzzles. Here is one that I saw in one of my email newsletters the other day. Name a word of more than two letters that both begins and ends with the letters "he" in that order. There are two possible answers. Send an email to me at thager@littleelm.org if you think you know the answer.
Stay tuned for future contests and if you are interested in finding out more information about the Little Elm Cultural Arts Council, contact Ivan Langford at ilangford@littleelm.org.
Upcoming programs of interest include the 1p.m. Knitting Club on July 17; and the monthly business fair on July 24 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Also on July 24 at 10 a.m. there will be a free homeseller’s workshop. Registration is required so please call 214-975-0430 to reserve your spot today. We look forward to hearing from you. Is there a topic that you would like to see in the weekly library newsletter? Send an email to me at thager@littleelm.org and let me know what you have in mind.
