You can access the digital version of The New York Times both inside and outside the library. This means access to articles, reviews, podcasts, recipes, and games (so you can impress your friends with a Wordle streak). If you’re more of a “print” kind of person, we have both The NYT newspaper and magazine available on the lower level of the library.

Consumer Reports is a nonprofit organization that helps consumers gauge the value, quality, and authenticity of goods and services. It’s a trusted resource for unbiased reviews of cars, appliances, electronics, and lots more. Like The NYT, we also have the print version of the Consumer Reports magazine on the lower level of the library.

Ancestry allows users to access a massive database of genealogical and historical resources. Search through Census records; military records; court, land, and probate records; vital and church records; directories; petitions for naturalization… The list goes on and on. This service is only available at the library itself so make sure to visit our public computers on the lower level.

Chances are you’ve heard of Duolingo. I use it myself and like that it keeps me responsible for learning every day. On the whole, though, it feels somewhat lacking in actual education. Duolingo’s focus is on gamification can make it feel more like Candy Crush than French 101. Mango Languages is a great alternative that provides structured lesson plans that cover vocabulary, grammar, and culture. What’s more, Mango Languages boasts 70+ world languages and courses for English learners as well.
