“When in doubt, go to the library.” – Ron Weasley.
#HarryPotterAtHome
All April and May library programs and events are canceled or indefinitely postponed. We hope you will continue reading, crafting, and building with Legos at home while we take this break from gathering in groups. We’re working on offering some things virtually.
Digital library cards now available! Did you miss out on getting to the library for a card before everything closed? You can sign up on Overdrive/Libby for a temporary digital library card that will allow you to check out our ebooks and downloadable audiobooks. You’ll enter your cell phone number to demonstrate that you live within our regional library system.
Looking for reading recommendations? Enjoy reading about authors? You can access BookPage magazine for free online: https://bookpage.com/
It’s time for a Big Library Read!
No waiting to download “Funny, You Don’t Look Autistic: A Comedian’s Guide to Life on the Spectrum” by Michael McCreary.
This title is available to unlimited simultaneous borrowers from March 23 to April 13 in both ebook and audiobook format through Overdrive and Libby with your Pioneerland library card.
Like many others on the autism spectrum, 20-something stand-up comic Michael McCreary has been told by more than a few well-meaning folks that he doesn’t “look” autistic. But, as he’s quick to point out in this memoir, autism “looks” different for just about everyone with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
The Cosmos Library remains closed through the end of the month, but some library resources are still available to you.
Our downloadable ebooks and audiobooks are available here: https://pioneerland.overdrive.com/ or by using the free Libby or Overdrive app and searching for Cosmos Library.
Mnknows.org is the website for statewide free electronic library resources.
And you can email the county librarian Beth Cronk at elizabeth.cronk@pioneerland.lib.mn.us for research assistance, and she will use her training and experience in online research to answer your questions.
We will also answer your questions via Messenger, but that is not a very private way to ask your research questions.
If you need free public wifi at any hour, you can park outside the library to pick up the library’s, no password needed.
Stay well!
