Message from the DirectorDid you know that Angry Birds was downloaded over six million times the day after Christmas? What have you downloaded? Did you know that an e-reader or i-device (i-pad, i-pod, i-touch, i-phone, etc.) was the most popular holiday gifts this year? What have you purchased? There’s more to do with your new smart phone or tablet than to spend your time killing green pigs! We’ve got it!Are you wondering what you are going to do next with your e-reader or audio device? Well, @ Your Library you will find possibilities and helpful staff to assist you! Whether you have a Kindle® or a Nook® or an Apple or Sony device or something else altogether, we have content for you! Through the online library, Pioneer, organized and funded by the Utah State Library using your Washington County Library System (WCLS) library card, you have access to e-content in a database called OverDrive®, as well as e-audio content through a database called One Click®. We will soon be adding a database of additional titles available to only to WCLS card holders.In Journal of the Society for Information Display, February 2011 the predictions looked like this:Within ten to 20 years:• E-devices with magazine-quality color, viewable in bright sunlight but requiring low power. “Think of this as the green iPad or e-Reader, combining high function and high color with low power requirements.” (University of Cincinnati’s Jason Heikenfeld.)• The e-Sheet, a virtually indestructible e-device that will be as thin and as rollable as a rubber place mat. It will be full color and interactive, while requiring low power to operate since it will charge via sunlight and ambient room light. However, it will be so “tough” and only use wireless connection ports, such that you can leave it out overnight in the rain. In fact, you’ll be able to wash it or drop it without damaging the thin, highly flexible casing.Drop by YOUR library soon. Bring your new device. You’ll be ready to use what you have now and for all the coming e-device developments. Just Ask a Librarian

If you plan on buying a card, make sure that it’s made from recycled or tree-free paper. Another option is to create a one-of-a-kind card using scraps of ribbon, paper and notions you may have on hand, with an original poem written inside. This will certainly become a treasured memento. Did someone say chocolate? Fair trade and organic chocolate is not only delicious, it is also better for your loved one and the environment. There are many brands available at most grocery and specialty stores.Want to create a romantic evening? Prepare a delicious and nutritious dinner for that special someone using local and organic ingredients. Light some beeswax candles that not only set the mood, but help purify the air.
