Have you really looked at our website's home page?

     Stop!  You need to go back and look at our home page.  That's where you clicked onto the MCCLS Bookworm blog.  Have you noticed all those icons on the lefthand side of the page?  If not, you're really missing something.  Like...
     The Pines System Catalog.  That's where you can look for books and audios in not only our library, but the entire PINES library system.  You can check by title, author, keyword, etc.  Very useful when you're looking for that specific book or audio.
     Galileo, Georgia's Virtual Library.  I especially like to click on Books, Reading & Literature.  Then I click on Reader's Advisory.  From there I click on Novelist.  That's where I find book lists, adult fiction, authors, and much more.
     World Book Web.  You can find World Book Online for Kids, as well as an Information Finder and Reference Center.  And there's a Specialty Site in Spanish.
     Gale Testing and Education Reference Center.  This is where you can find help to prepare for High School Success by looking at preparation for GEDs and AP Tests.  In the College Section, it will help you with SATs, PSATs, and ACT tests.  In Your Perfect Career Section, you can find help with resumes, cover letters, and such.  In the Advanced Degree Section, you'll find information about scholarships and admissions.  And under Your Next Big Adventure, you'll find information about TOEFL, TOEIC, and U. S. Citizenship.
     The Georgia Legal Forms will give you more forms than you can ever imagine; forms for things such as adoption, bill of sale, certificates, divorce, employment, wills and much more.
     Glassdoor.com is a free inside look at jobs and companies.  There are millions of job listings, plus salaries, reviews and more posted by employees on the inside.  It's like a "sneak peek."
     A to Z the USA is one of my fun sites.  This is where you get all kinds of informaiton about U.S. States and Territories.  There is a map of the U.S., Alaska and Hawaii.  All you have to do is click on a state or territory (try Georgia) and it will tell you everything you want to know about that particular place.
     Issues and Controversies will give you the facts on file of in-depth investigations of today's top issues, such as budget deficits, gun control reform, health care reform, and more.  All interesting topics.
     The UGA-Colquitt County Archway Project will be of great interest to people who want to visit Moultrie (or even if you're living here in Colquitt County).  The historic tourism initiative gives maps of Moultrie-Colquitt County, not only for walking but driving.  They show the location of historic markers, placques, monuments, cemeteries, and other places.
     Ask a Librarian will help you with those questions you have about references and genealogy.
     And the last icon you'll see is the Moultrie weather and forecast.
     You know what?  That's just the lefthand side of the home page!!!  Did you notice that colorful picture about the Summer Reading Program?  No?  Well, you just need to go back and check the entire page!  Just think what you might be missing?

You are right, this is a great selection of info on the website. I also like the one for checking out areas of the US.
