Care to chat?

Posted by Candice on Friday, Mar 27, 2020

Did you know that you can still come to the Library for assistance--online, that is?! Staff are providing chat information services M-F, during the hours of 10-5. You can ask us for help with downloading e-materials (books! audiobooks! movies!! magazines!!!), using some of our online databases (care to delve into the Sanborn maps, anyone?), finding up-to-date reliable information about Covid, or really, anything you find tickling your brain. 

For instance, I'm getting ready to staff the chat from 1-5 today, and on Wednesdays from 1-5 for the next two weeks...some of my work-related and personal interests are local history, mystery/thriller books, nonfiction history, travel guides, and cats. Yes, cats. So, if any of you out there are really just sitting around wondering what unique web-based, free local history resources I like to use, come chat with me! Want to know what mysteries are at the top of my list right now, or how to find recommendations on what to read next? Give me a holler! Interested in finding out what types of cat beds my cats like or don't like? You know where to come! Want some non-traditional travel books to get you ready to hit the road again, once we can? I've got some favorites.

Basically...if you have questions, ICPL still has answers. We're here for you...chat now, operators are standing by!

I work at the Info Desk on the second floor, and I select books for the adult nonfiction collection. I have a degree in anthropology, which really helps in selecting...well...almost anything. I also manage the Art To Go collection of framed prints and original art, and the nonfiction DVDs.

  • The Triumph of Christianity : How a Forbidden Religion Swept the World

    by Bart D. Ehrman

    270.1 /Ehrman
    History, Religion

    In The Triumph of Christianity, Bart Ehrman, a master explainer of Christian history, texts, and traditions, shows how a religion whose first believers were twenty or so illiterate day laborers in a remote part of the empire became the official religion of Rome, converting some thirty million people in just four centuries. The Triumph of Christianity combines deep knowledge and meticulous research in an eye-opening, immensely readable narrative that upends the way we think about the single most important cultural transformation our world has ever seen - one that revolutionized art, music, literature, philosophy, ethics, economics, and law.

    For those nights where you find yourself wondering why the Christian belief system ended up eclipsing so many others. Full of fantastic history. -Candice

1.A friend is willing to share her playlist from itunes she downloaded onto her iphone. However, I have an android phone. Is there anyway to transfer what she has downloaded from itunes to my phone or put on a flashdrive?
