We're in it Now
I pulled out a box of donations to sort and, hopefully, list at our Amazon Store. The box had some promising looking hardcover books and a whole bunch of paperbacks. The paperbacks are welcome right now (we don’t normally have enough space to keep… Continue Reading “At the Library – Paperback Surprises”
There are some birds that I know, if I could just spend some quality time, they would warm up to people. Luna, a Congo African Grey Parrot, is such a case. She does not want people to touch her. She would rather stay in… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Luna”

But Best Friends Animal Society noted Wal-mart doing something worth mentioning:“Last week, Wal-Mart launched a free online classifieds website, walmart.oodle.com.

The other night at the Library, I spent a whole bunch of time individually listing a bunch of old children’s books for sale on Amazon. The Happy Hollisters was a mystery series and the books I saw were from about 1955 – 1965. Great… Continue Reading “The Happy Hollisters”
Chicago has, more than once, been name the Most Dog Friendly City in the U.S. The Chicago Tribune is pretty good about indulging us with local stories. This article talks about a Keeshond Rescue Group that has partnered with a residential facility for teens.… Continue Reading “Rescue Dogs and Teens”
I have included a new link on the sidebar to the Storefront of the Library’s Used Book Store. I don’t think Amazon customers are likely to have “Favorite Sellers” the way they do on eBay, but I am hoping to at least post it… Continue Reading “New Library Link”
