What's New in the Library's eBook Service This Month?


What's New in the Library's eBook service this month?

Featured Author: Gina Frangello

Gina Frangello has edited the award-winning fiction magazine Other Voices for over a decade.She is also the Sunday editor of The Rumpus and the fiction editor of The Nervous Breakdown. What happens when a long-time editor starts writing novels? Sensational stories that you can’t put down.

The latest novel from this author is
A Life In Men. It is the soul-searching story of a life-long friendship between two women that ends unexpectedly. Before the reasons for the abrupt departure can be explored, one of them dies of cancer. The sudden passing leaves the remaining friend full of questions, sadness, and a personal search for meaning.

“A stunning novel--Frangello’s broken characters live in a world of terror and redemption, of magnificent sadness and beauty.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“In this bravura performance, a quantum creative leap . . . Frangello astutely dissects the quandaries of female sexuality, adoption, terminal illness, and compound heartbreak in a torrent of tough-minded observations, audacious candor, and storytelling moxie.”
—Booklist

Log on today! (or call the library to find out how)

Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Americanbandstand-1
The Library will be closed on Thursday July 4th in observance of the Independence Day holiday. We will reopen on Friday, July 5th at 9:00 am. You may return materials through the book drop, or renew online if you have activated that feature. We wish all our patrons a safe and happy 4th of July!


Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball gamesfamily reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.


Independence Day is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. Similar to other summer-themed events, Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors. Independence Day is a federal holiday, so all non-essential federal institutions (like the postal service and federal courts) are closed on that day. Many politicians make it a point on this day to appear at a public event to praise the nation's heritage, laws, history, society, and people.
Families often celebrate Independence Day by hosting or attending a picnic or barbecue and take advantage of the day off and, in some years, long weekend to gather with relatives. Decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and clothing) are generally colored red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag. Parades are often in the morning, while fireworks displays occur in the evening at such places as parks, fairgrounds, or town squares.

Exercise Your Right! Go Vote! Ejerce tu derecho! Ve y Vota!


                The library hosts story time the first Thursday of each month at 2 p.m. Come out and let your children enjoy the stories from our Living Green Church volunteers.

                Go vote. November 6th is Election Day.  I exercised my right to vote early. Turnout is expected to be very heavy for this Presidential election, so consider voting early. There have been lines and wait time even to vote early. Consider this. What will conditions be like on Election Day, November 6th? When you vote early, you pick the day and time. You pick when you feel your best, when the weather is best, and when you are already making a trip to town.  It is a great option for many voters. 
Voting is serious business. Do your own research on the matter. Be polite when you show up to vote.  We all have different opinions, but the polls are not the time or place to espouse your political views.  In fact, there are usually signs asking you not to. Give all voters the same respect. If you encounter a problem with casting your ballot, be kind but firm in your resolve to exercise your right to vote.
Remember, the right to vote wasn't just handed to Americans. They had to fight for it. This is a right sometimes taken for granted, but the ability for everyone to be able to vote did not appear overnight. It took decades. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is widely considered a landmark in civil-rights legislation, though some of its provisions have sparked political controversy. In 2006, 41 years after the Voting Rights Act passed, Congress, with bi-partisan support, voted to extend the Act for 25 years with its original enforcement provisions left intact. The bill to renew the Act was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on July 13, 2006 by a vote of 390-33, with support from Republican House leadership, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr. The U.S. Senate passed the bill 98–0 on July 20, 2006. President George W. Bush signed the bill in a morning ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House on July 27, 2006, one year in advance of the 2007expiration date.  
Exercise your right. Go vote.

                For renewals, reserves, or to make memorials, please contact the Public Library at 613 Quitman Street, Pittsburg, Texas 75686, 903-856-3302 or email info@pittsburglibrary.org. ‘Follow’ us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/PCCPL, ‘Like’ us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pittsburglibrary , or ‘Circle’ us on Google+ http://tinyurl.com/8uv3rpt . The library is located at 613 Quitman Street, Pittsburg, TX  75686. We hope to see you at the library.

Pittsburg Rincón de la Biblioteca
Por Nancy Murillo, Directora de la Biblioteca                                                                01 de noviembre 2012

La biblioteca en tiempo de hosts historia el primer jueves de cada mes a las 2 pm Venga y deje que sus niños disfrutan de las historias de nuestros voluntarios Living Church Green.
Ir a votar. 06 de noviembre es el Día de las Elecciones. He ejercido mi derecho a votar temprano. La participación se espera que sea muy pesado para esta elección presidencial, por lo que considerar la votación temprana. Ha habido líneas y el tiempo de espera incluso a votar temprano. Considere esto. ¿Qué condiciones de ser como el día de las elecciones, 06 de noviembre? Cuando vote temprano, tienes que elegir el día y la hora. Usted elige cuando se sienta lo mejor posible, cuando el clima es mejor, y cuando ya estás haciendo un viaje a la ciudad. Es una gran opción para muchos votantes.
El voto es un asunto serio. Haga su propia investigación sobre el asunto. Sea cortés cuando usted se presenta a votar. Todos tenemos opiniones diferentes, pero las encuestas no son el momento ni el lugar para abrazar a sus opiniones políticas. De hecho, suele haber carteles pidiendo que no lo hiciera. Dar a todos los votantes el mismo respeto. Si tiene algún problema con emitir su voto, sea amable pero firme en su decisión de ejercer su derecho al voto.
Recuerde, el derecho al voto no era entregado a los estadounidenses. Tuvieron que luchar por ella. Se trata de un derecho a veces se da por sentado, pero la capacidad para que todos puedan votar no apareció durante la noche. Tuvieron que pasar décadas. La Ley de Derechos Electorales de 1965 es ampliamente considerado como un hito en la legislación de los derechos civiles, aunque algunas de sus disposiciones han generado controversia política. En 2006, 41 años después de los Derechos de Voto aprueba la Ley, el Congreso, con el apoyo de ambos partidos, votó a favor de extender la ley por 25 años con sus disposiciones de aplicación originales intactos. El proyecto de ley para renovar la ley fue aprobada por la Cámara de Representantes de EE.UU. el 13 de julio de 2006 por un voto de 390 a 33, con el apoyo del liderazgo republicano de la Cámara, encabezados por el presidente del Comité Judicial F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. El Senado de EE.UU. aprobó el proyecto de ley de 98-0 el 20 de julio de 2006. El presidente George W. Bush firmó la ley en una ceremonia de la mañana en el Jardín Sur de la Casa Blanca, el 27 de julio de 2006, un año antes de la fecha 2007expiration.
El ejercicio de su derecho. Ir a votar.

Basic Computer Literacy Classes

We are having great success with our free Basic Computer Classes and low cost advanced classes. There is such a need in this area, but many potential students are afraid. Read what some of our students and former students are saying about the classes:
(1)“I am so happy with what I have learned in these computer classes. I could not even turn a computer on before coming to this class and now I can open up Google to search for different information. I was also very scared of the computer because I was afraid that I would break it, but I feel so much more confident and do not have this fear anymore. I continue to attend every class that I can in order to practice what I have learned and gain more knowledge about computers.”
(2)“I have learned to start up and connect to the Internet through attending these computer classes. Also, I have learned to look up items that I have been interested in learning more information about, such as parts for cars and motorcycles. In addition to learning to search for information about things that interest me, I learned how to make business cards for my business that I run.”

I have learned to send and receive emails, as well as construct spreadsheets. These computer classes have helped to cure my computer phobia and taught me numerous computer skills that I did not know prior to attending the classes.” If you have not taken advantage of this opportunity, please do so now!

Help the Library Automate the Entry Doors!

The library is currently trying to upgrade the facilities by automating the doors at both entrances. This will provide extra usable space for the library, as well as providing a place for wifi users to sit and children waiting for their rides a dry, enclosed area. By putting double doors on the front entrance, we will create an airlock, helping to stop the cold winter drafts at the front of the building. We do need funds to accomplish this. The total project will cost $15,000. We have raised just under $2,000, and have a dollar for dollar match grant up to $4,500.
