Note from the Editor
It seems that COVID has energized our interests in home improvement, cooking and organization. With everyone stuck at home, it's not surprising that we are now focusing on our unorganized cluttered closets or marked up walls or our boring meals! I know I am! Luckily, when I want a little inspiration, I turn to one of the Library's most popular databases, Flipster. Flipster lets you and your family view the month's latest popular magazines for FREE. There are 27 categories to choose from. Food and Cooking alone has 30 popular magazines from Cooking Light, Pioneer Woman to Food & Wine. There's a treasure trove of information available to you and your family easily accessible from the comfort of your home! I encourage you to explore Flipster!
On a more serious note, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. If you are in search for information about this disease, check out our Breast Cancer Resource Guide or if you want to be inspired, join us virtually Tuesday, October 20th for author, speaker and cancer survivor, Tamara B. Rodriguez.
