Google is Good Part III: Google Calendar
Let's face it. We're all super busy these days...whether it be school, work, or just personal stuff we've all got a full plate.
Why not organize your life?
(from Google)
Simplify. Organize. (And relax.) Organizing your schedule shouldn't be a burden. That's why we've created Google Calendar – our free online shareable calendar service. With Google Calendar, it's easy to keep track of all your life's important events – birthdays, reunions, little league games, doctor's appointments – all in one place.
Using Google Calendar, you can add events and invitations effortlessly, share with friends and family (or keep things to yourself), and search across the web for events you might enjoy. It's organizing made easy.
I can't say enough good stuff about Google Calendar. We even use it here at the library.
CLICK HERE FOR THE TEEN ZONE GOOGLE CALENDAR
This playlist of videos will help you get started with Google Calendar.
...and oh yeah! CLICK HERE FOR GOOGLE CALENDAR!

Cool Website for the Week of March 1-7
It's not really that cool of a website, but it proves a really good point...
From the creators of the website:
What is All About Explorers?
Because we wanted to make a point about finding useless information even in a site which looked at first to be fairly well put together, all of the Explorer biographies here are fictional. While many of the facts are true or based on truth, many inaccuracies, lies, and even downright absurdity are mixed in indiscriminately. As such, it is important that you do not use this site as a source of reference for your own research!
What is the point that it proves? You can't trust everything you find on the internet!
That's why we're here at the library...we'll help you find all of the quality information you need for your homework...
Need information for a school project?

Library Databases are Good!
Are Audiobooks your thing? 
Cape May County Library cardholders can download audiobooks at home.
(Downloads can not be done in the library). This service is compatible with many WMA/MP3 audio devices, Pocket PCs, laptops and PCs. Many titles may also be burned to CD and used in car stereos and regular CD players. These downloadable audio books are also compatible with IPods and IPhones (only select titles are compatible with IPhones and IPods)
So how do you use this cool database? It's easy...
or
(all you have to do from home is provide your library card number and then download away!)
If you have any questions, you can always stop by the library and ask me...
