The notion that crime rises with the mercury is a widely held belief. But is it true? Behavioral scientists have shown through laboratory experiments that we do respond more aggressively when “hot under the collar.” Need to cool off? Come on over and enjoy our refreshing AC then take home a hot, steamy crime thriller. Grilling Gone Great July may be the perfect time to fire up the grill, stock the bar, elect yourself as cook, bartender, and host, and get the patio ready for guests. The Library would love to get you started with books, Web sites, video, downloadable audio and e-books, and other tools to help prepare the perfect party.

Recognize Motherhood May is the month we formally recognize and celebrate those amazing women - be it mothers, aunts, grandmothers or other exceptional caregivers. But we deserve to celebrate being a mother or mother-figure or celebrate our own mothers each day of the year. Celebrate yourself as a female role model to beloved children or applaud your mom whenever you feel with any of these titles from books and movies all about the devotion, fun or funniness of motherhood. Stress Relief Awareness Month Some "experts" say a small amount of stress is healthy. Some "experts" have advice on how to lower our stress levels through breathing exercises, meditation, job changes, etc. During National Stress Relief Awareness Month this April, the library is simply offering a variety of materials designed to make us laugh, feel inspired, be thankful for our current positions in work and home, and help us relax at the end of a long day. March Madness Take a break from the madness of the basketball season to explore the other happenings of the month. Among them are the celebration of Dr. Seuss' Birthday and legacy, Women's History Month and St. Patrick's Day. Whether you're introducing a new generation to Dr. Seuss, studying up on Rosa Parks or planning your trip to Dublin, these websites and books will prove there's much more to the madness of the month than basketball. February Fusion There's something for everyone to love during a month that celebrates much more than candy hearts and chocolate kisses. The month also celebrates African American history -- a double celebration for Bob Marley whose birthday is February 6th. Check out what's on display in February -- both online and off and find a perfect title for everyone you know.
