Spring Fever? Stressed Out??
Let off some steam!
Write down your fears, anxieties, confessions,and sad thoughts, then crush them or tear them up and put them in our banishing jar! The Library Learning Commons is a positive place to learn about the world, but also to learn about yourself. If you're in need of some zen, stop by any time.

Read it before you see it in theaters!
"Welcome to the OASIS, a hyper-realistic, 3D, videogame paradise. It's 2045, and pretty much everyone logs in to the OASIS daily to escape their terrible lives, lives affected by overpopulation, unemployment, and energy shortages. Eighteen-year-old Wade Watts is one of these people, and he has a mission: to find an Easter egg hidden inside the OASIS by its wackadoodle creator, James Halliday." --Shmoop.com
