Get ready for gardening season!
Carlinville Seed Swap
March 16th
10AM to Noon
Carlinville Public Library Study Room
- Bring seeds to trade. One pack of your seeds for one pack of someone else's seeds
- Package seeds in a small envelop or baggie for one person
- Put enough seeds in each pack to give the recipient a usable harvest (ex: 10-ish tomato or pepper seeds or 3- 5 squash seeds)
- Label your packets and provide as much planting/growing information as possible
- Be as creative (or not) as you Want!
- It is best to test your germination rate to ensure you are not trading a bunch of dead seeds
The LapSit Programs
will be held Mondays and Thursdays
at 10:00
Please come to whichever one is more convenient for your family!
The 3M Cloud Library has been renamed and upgraded. It is now the Cloud Library. To search for the Cloud Library eBooks in the catalog, use the keyword "cloudlibrary." For example, a search for "cloudlibrary disney" will result in a list of all of the Cloud Library eBooks about Disney. Just a reminder, patrons using Kindle Fires will need to update by downloading the new app from http://yourcloudlibrary.com.
Patrons now also have access to browser-based reading through the Cloud Library web portal. Patrons with older devices that are no longer compatible with the app, can now use any web browser to go to:
https://ebook.yourcloudlibrary.com/library/illinoisheartland.org
Just log in with: library barcode number and pin. Patrons can then navigate to My Books. Click on the Read button to access and read the borrowed items. There is a hyperlink to this website in the Resource section of the Homepage.
