National Library Week!

Happy National Library Week everyone! We celebrate this week the facilities and the staff that provide information to 3rd graders, parents, young professionals and retirees. From the academic library to the business library to the public library, we should all enjoy the fact that we have a way to gain knowledge.

Please join our circle of knowledge!

Teapots!

In preparation for our Mother Daughter Tea in May, we are organizing a display at our library featuring different types of teapots.

If you live in the Beatties Ford Road area, or the Charlotte/Mecklenburg area and would like to share your tea accessories with us, please contact us at 704-336-2882 and ask for Sally. All shapes and sizes are welcome!

Word of the Day

Cacophony- noun 1. harsh discordant mixture of sound. 2. dissonance; discord.

The great cacophony of arguments over the future of libraries made many book lovers anxious of the technological advancements.

Word of the Day

Antediluvian-1. of the time before the Biblical Flood 2. very old or out of date.

-Oxford American Desk Dictionary and Thesaurus 2nd. ed.

How very antediluvian a person would have to be to not know who Bill Gates is!

Check back tomorrow for another word of the day!

Spring Break

As many librarians know, Summer and Winter Break pale in comparison to Spring Break for the students of CMS. Some venture in to research colleges, others starting to apply for summer jobs. MySpace.com and Facebook will be the other crazy popular reasons to come to the library. As mature individuals with the ability to go unchaperoned, they will make their decisions accordingly as to how they spend their time.

For parents who are unfamiliar with MySpace, we invite you to MySpace for Parents. This class will examine just what MySpace is and what dangers your young adult may face.
