The library dropped its subscription when the <b>Connecticut State Library</b> added it to its list of statewide <b><a href="http://researchitct.org/">researchIT CT</a></b> services (formerly iCONN); i.e., no sense incurring a duplicate expense.<br />

<b><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;">Remember Me</span></b><br />
According to <a href="http://www.alz.co.uk/" target="_blank">Alzheimer's Disease International</a>, there are more than 47 million people worldwide living with dementia. Alzheimer's Disease is the most common cause of dementia.<br />
<br />
In the U.S., more than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. Whether you or a family member are <b><i><span style="color: #674ea7;">Generation X</span></i></b> (1965-1984), a <b><i><span style="color: #674ea7;">Boomer</span></i></b> (born 1945-1964), a <b><i><span style="color: #674ea7;">Silent</span></i></b> (born 1923-1944), or a <b><i><span style="color: #674ea7;">Greatest</span></i></b> (1910-1925), your family has likely been touched by this devastating disease which cannot yet be prevented or cured.<br />

<b><span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Hurricane Season</span></b><br />
The Atlantic Hurricane Season officially started on June 1 and ends on November 30. Safe to say no one is ever looking to be impacted by a hurricane. However, weather happens and in the case of any storm warning, it's a very good idea to keep informed and to think Boy Scout motto : <i><span style="color: #990000;">be prepared</span></i>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Recommended Web Sites</span></b><br />
Here's a range of web sites worth consulting during hurricane season. The list includes links to storm-tracking sites; sites with storm preparedness and family safety information, and educational web videos that may or may not alarm your kids (use your judgement).<br />
<br />
There is certainly some duplication across sites but this is not a bad thing...<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><b>One App to Rule Them All</b></span><br />
If you're a fan of electronic content, RBDigital has made our <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">OneClick</span></b> <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">service</span></b> easier to use. The new <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">OneClickdigital</span></b> app offers you the ability to view all of your digital content in one place. Search, checkout, place holds, listen and read, all from the app. Additionally, <i><b>an Adobe ID is no longer required</b></i> to access eBook content. To all of this, we say hooray!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">e-Books</span></b><br />
If you had been using the original <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">OneClickdigital</span></b> eReader app for e-Books, you will need to install and use the new combined app. There is messaging to indicate the shut-off date within the existing eReader app, as well as links to the new app in the app store(s).<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">e-Audio</span></b><br />
If you are using the original OneClickdigital app for e-audio, you should have already received the required update for the new, combined app, and will not need to delete anything or make any additional modifications.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Instructional Video</span></b><br />
Here's a brief instructional video on how to use the new combined app. We hope you enjoy these latest improvements. <b><a href="http://easthamptonct.oneclickdigital.com/" target="_blank">Start reading and listening today!</a></b><br />

<br />
Here's a quick list of <b><a href="http://ehp-verso.auto-graphics.com/OpenURL/OpenURL.aspx?cuid=ehp&lid=ehp&title=great+courses" target="_blank">The Great Courses</a></b> ready for checkout:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>1066: The Year That Changed Everything</b></span><br />
If you were to look back at hundreds of years of history in search of the one critical moment after which the history of the English-speaking world would never be the same again, it would undoubtedly be the year 1066. It was during this pivotal time that an event occurred that would have untold ramifications for the European continent: the Norman Conquest of England.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>A History of Hitler's Empire</b></span><br />
Know thy enemy. That's what the wisdom of history teaches us. And Adolf Hitler was surely the greatest enemy ever faced by modern civilization. Over half a century later, the horror and fascination still linger.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>Elements of Jazz: From Cakewalks to Fusion</b></span><br />
The uniquely American music and art form, jazz, is one of America's great contributions to world culture. Now you can learn the basics of jazz and its history in a course as free-flowing and original as jazz itself.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>The Myths of Nutrition and Fitness</b></span><br />
More than anything else, the cornerstone of a long, healthy, and happy life is the scientifically proven link between fitness and nutrition. When you take advantage of this powerful link—by practicing good nutritional eating habits and by keeping your body active—you're improving your chances of success in meeting your personal wellness goals, whether it's losing a few pounds or maintaining a balanced lifestyle.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>Thinking Like and Economist: A Guide to Rational Decision Making</b></span><br />
Economic forces are everywhere around you. You're made aware of that whenever you reach for your wallet, apply for a loan, shop for health care, or try to figure out the best credit card to carry. But that doesn't mean you need to passively accept whatever outcome those forces might press upon you. Instead, you can learn how to use a small handful of basic nuts-and-bolts principles to turn those same forces to your own advantage.$<br />

October is <a href="http://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/" target="_blank"><b>National Bullying Prevention Month</b></a> and we've been rounding up titles of great books that speak to the subject and which may help open a kid-to-kid -- or a much larger family or community conversation. A quick list of suggested titles about this tough subject follows, with direct and more nuanced titles recommended for later elementary and early middle school grade readers and their families.<br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">Author! Author! An Evening with Sydney Sherman</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Sydney Sherman</span></b>, author of <i style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #45818e;">You Are Not Alone</span></i>, returns to the library for an evening presentation that delves into the subject of the afterlife.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Program Overview</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Ms. Sherman</span></b> will discuss how all cultures to some degree believe in an afterlife; how the media effects our beliefs, and why and what we believe about the paranormal and the afterlife in a reality beyond her own.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Ms. Sherman's</span></b> talk will approach the idea of the afterlife -- and the subjects of spirits and ghosts -- with a healthy dose of common sense which encourages skepticism of paranormal claims unless or until they can be substantiated. She will also draw distinctions between myths and the paranormal; recount experiences with spirits, and offer hints to avoid falling prey to the frauds in the paranormal field.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Program Schedule</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><b>Wednesday, October 21, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.</b></span><br />

October is <b><a href="http://www.pacer.org/bullying/nbpm/" target="_blank">National Bullying Prevention Month</a> </b>and a great time to share and discuss books about what can be a sensitive, complex and painful subject.

Join us at the library for an afternoon concert and a unique musical experience on <b><span style="color: #bf9000;">Saturday</span></b>, <b><span style="color: #38761d;">April 25</span></b>, in the library Community Room. We are so proud to be welcoming Caryn Lin to East Hampton!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Welcome Caryn Lyn</span></b><br />
Bach was a master of harmony and counterpoint but he had to rely on other musicians to create the full effect of his music. Thanks to modern technology, <span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Caryn Lin</b></span> doesn't have that problem. Caryn uses the five string electric violin and sound effects to transcend that "solo" sound by doing what is called "looping," creating sound loops live that she adds to and embellishes. In essence, she plays live duos and trios with herself -- but not without some help from the audience!<br />

<b><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">Take a Chance to Win a $1,000 IRA!</span></b><br />
Public libraries and other institutions in the District of Columbia and five states -- Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska -- are participating in the <b><span style="color: #38761d;">DASH for the STASH</span></b> investor education/protection program and contest taking place April 15 through May 15, 2015. The East Hampton Public Library CT is one of the participating libraries.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Why DASH for the STASH?</b></span><br />
The primary goal of the program is to arm investors, particularly young investors age 20-35, with unbiased, non-commercial information needed to make crucial investing decisions. <b><span style="color: #38761d;">DASH for the STASH</span></b> focuses on four areas –
<b><i>financial fraud</i></b>, <b><i>building a nest egg</i></b>, <b><i>selecting financial advisers</i></b>, and the <b><i>cost of investment fees</i></b> – all
topics about which many investors need to learn more.<br />
<br />
A randomly selected <b><span style="color: #38761d;">DASH for the STASH</span></b> winner in each participating state and the District of Columbia will be awarded $1,000 to open or add to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). We suggest you go for it!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>How to Play DASH for the STASH</b></span><br />
It's easy enough to play <b><span style="color: #38761d;">DASH for the STASH</span></b> which works like a scavenger hunt.<br />
<br />
Read the 4 posters located in the library lobby. On each poster there is a QR code. Scan the code or enter the URL under the code to go to a quiz question. Each poster leads to a different quiz but you must play the quiz on all four posters to win. Leave your answer (and your email address). That's it!<br />
<br />
In Connecticut, <b><span style="color: #38761d;">DASH for the STASH</span></b> is sponsored by the <b><a href="http://www.ct.gov/dob/site/default.asp" target="_blank">Connecticut Department of Banking</a></b> and the <b><a href="http://www.iinvest.org/" target="_blank">Investor Protection Institute</a></b>.East Hampton Public Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00915593007698197733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23297098.post-26152145348449047412015-04-15T19:42:00.000-04:002015-04-15T19:44:40.594-04:00National Car Care Month<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><a href="http://tinyurl.com/ln4z8l7" target="_blank"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Wednesday, February 11, 6:30 p.m.</span></a></b><br />
Enjoy this magical documentary about the extraordinary variety of wild birds that can be observed both seasonally and year-round in Central Park, the only 'wild' piece of territory in the New York City area along the migratory route.<br />
<br />
Featuring spectacular wildlife footage capturing the changing seasons, the film reveals that Central Park acts as a magnet for the millions and millions of birds migrating along the Eastern Seaboard twice every year. Desperate for a rest-stop, the tiny birds funnel in to this oasis of nature amid a sea of steel and concrete – a phenomenon known as the “Central Park Effect.”<br />
<br />
Watch the trailer then enjoy the full film in the company of fellow bird lovers.<br />

Owls have always been surrounded by an air of mystery, probably because most are nocturnal and not easily spotted in the wild. This is your chance to be only a few feet away from two eastern screech owls, a barn owl, a barred owl, and a great-horned owl! Discover the extraordinary features of owls, including exceptional eyesight, hearing, and ability to fly silently.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Participating in the 'count' is a great family activity and also a great way to get to know other bird-loving families in your community. Learn about how to participate by counting birds in your backyards and neighborhoods. The purpose is to learn more about birds and how to protect them and the environment we share. We'll be offering info and bird-friendly stories to support the effort and we'll be counting at the library, too! Be there for the <b><a href="http://gbbc.birdcount.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394;">18th Annual Backyard Bird Count</span></a></b>!</div>

Duly noted: we've been gone way too long from the blogosphere.<br />
<br />
Seems as though not everything lends itself to a quick post and there are times when you are all looking for more content; different content; value-added tips and advice, and posts that have a longer online shelf life.<br />
<br />
Here's to a great new year serving you in person and online at the East Hampton Public Library, CT.<br />

<b style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;">"As Ever, Bill."</b><br />
On Thursday April 17, we at the East Hampton Public Library were delighted, proud, and deeply moved to receive a new addition to our book collection.<br />
<br />
In this book, <b><a href="http://ehp-verso.auto-graphics.com/OpenURL/OpenURL.aspx?cuid=ehp&lid=ehp&title=letters home&authl=knotek&media=BK">As Ever, Bill: Letters Home</a></b> -- a series of over 300 letters written between January 1943 and December 1945 -- East Hampton son <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">William R. Knotek </span></b>chronicled his service as 1st Lieutenant in the First Fighter Squadron Second Air Commando Group, United States Army Air Corp. <b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Lt. Knotek</span></b> also served in the 4th Combat Cargo Squadron. Both units participated in the China Burma India Theater of World War II.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">Letters Home: A Pilot's Journey</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Lt. Knotek</span></b> served in the Army Air Corps, the forerunner of the United States Air Force. His letters offer first-person insights on what it was like to train on and fly premiere aircraft of the day and his experiences undertaking World War II Air Corp assignments. As with every active service soldier, caring for family and connection to home shine through.<br />

In an electronic age -- the age of quick pics, 140 characters, and <i>Hope U R well </i>messages -- writing letters may seem to be old fashioned or passé. We think not and the Knotek Family may very well help change the view.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">News from the Front Desk...</span></b><br />
Our <b>OneClickdigital</b> eAudio service receives a hefty workout each month. Seems as though you do like listening to high quality unabridged titles. New titles are added monthly.<br />
<br />
If you are a regular service user, you may have noticed the addition of eBook content and the mixing in of the book symbol (e-read) with the headphone symbol (e-listen). Our start-up collection of <b>OneClickdigital</b> eBooks included classic reads and many ever-present summer reading list titles.<br />
<br />
We have since moved to incrementally add popular titles, series books, gentle reads, contemporary romances, books for kids, best-sellers that seem likely to stand the test of time, and great reads you may have missed along the way. New titles are added monthly, including titles from major publishing houses.<br />
<br />
Our overall e-read and e-listen collections include titles added by<b> <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">i</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">CONN<span style="color: #6aa84f;">.org</span></span></b>, our statewide information resource provider.<br />
