Chilton Library: Our library has those old, heavy books from 1962 - 1996. There are great resources for mechanics and people who like to remodel old cars. I was amazed with the website, and how quickly I could find with just a keyword, etc. I put the website on top of my "website list "because this will save us a lot of time to answer patrons questions.
My car a Dodge/Nitro 2011 required a few items at the 32,000mile mark: replacement of air filter and engine air filter, check the elctronics, etc. I have a great mechanic, who takes care of my car and he is familiar with the Chilton website. I am in good hands.
Mango Languages:Watch the video and was impressed with the detailed explanation and meaning of particular phrase or words.The pronunciation to me is the most important in learning any new languages. The grammar and the sentence structor is difficult in most languages.With Mango you have the "Grammar Notes", color coded instructions, and you can repeat the lessons as many times you wish. The material is well presented and you almost feel connected with the teacher.
Tumblebook Library: Great animated site, talking picture book, short videoes, and chapter books for any reading level. Puzzles and Games you can read the book in Enlish/Spanish or play the puzzle. Easy to navigate-brightly colored. Story Book provided with a synopsis read online, sorted by tittle, author, reading level or the newest book. Book review: great site for young and old and you can choose - Enlish, France or Spanish language. Great site!
Great resource for after school program, library or at home.
Great discoveries in Chilton, Mango and Tumblebook Library! Some libraries report patrons taking the laptop to the garage when doing auto repair now! That is a big change from the big heavy books!!
