What’s Happening at the Library
Published May 13, 2011 | 
One of our greatest resources is our Public Library. If you haven’t been to one of the local branches lately you should get out and spend a little time to see what they have to offer. Each branch location is unique and tries to offer information and resources that the local residents find the most useful. You can even go online read books in electronic format, reserve a book to your local branch where ever they may be, receive emails about events at your local branch, when your books are about to be due and much, much more. Of course they have kids events, teen events and specialty group events that are generally free and open to the public. Many groups hold meetings in the meeting rooms, parents and kids use the study rooms for tutoring and research and many branches have early voting.

What to Do on the Westside
Published April 2, 2010 | I have been trying to rack my brain to come up with ideas for this blog. I am still doing research on some subjects that I would like to do and have yet to come up with some extra gas money to spend some time on the Westside checking out new places to go and things to do. I have found a website that has some information that might be worth checking out. The Jax4Kids website is one of them. Check out the listing here: http://jax4kids.com/index.php?page=places%3E%3Ewestside
One of these on the list is the Diamond D Ranch. My family and I had a great time out there several years ago when our company had an employee picnic there. They have a lovely website at: http://www.diamonddranchinc.com/m_23.asp. The events they have are kind of expensive but if you love to ride a horse then it is probably worth it.
The other place on the list that I can hardily recommend is the Chamblin Bookmine. It is one bookstore that I have visited on several occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The shelves and stacks of used books, searching through the piles until you find what you are looking for and to have the ability to trade in your own books for store credit. They use to give you cash but I guess that practice had to be changed. They also have a website you should check out before you go at: http://www.chamblinbookmine.com/
