Need to work on your car?

On Sunday, a patron asked if we had a Chilton's Manual for a 1989 Chevy Silverado, because he couldn't figure out how to change the time in his truck.  For those who don't know, Chilton publishes do-it-yourself automobile repair manuals.  We didn't have a physical manual, but, lucky for him, we have access to the Chilton's Library online.  You can access it from home too if you have a current Iowa City Public Library card.  Just go to our Online Resources page and click on "Chilton Library" under "Premium Databases at ICPL."

Please note:

Because of licensing restrictions our databases are available only to residents of Iowa City and of areas covered by contracts for library service: rural Johnson County and the cities of Hills, Lone Tree, and University Heights.

  • Spinning silver

    by Naomi Novik

    SCIENCE FICTION Novik Naomi
    Fantasy

    "A fresh and imaginative retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin fairytale from the bestselling author of Uprooted, called "a very enjoyable fantasy with the air of a modern classic" by The New York Times Book Review. Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father is not a very good one. Free to lend and reluctant to collect, he has left his family on the edge of poverty--until Miryem intercedes. Hardening her heart, she sets out to retrieve what is owed, and soon gains a reputation for being able to turn silver into gold. But when an ill-advised boast brings her to the attention of the cold creatures who haunt the wood, nothing will be the same again. For words have power, and the fate of a kingdom will be forever altered by the challenge she is issued. Channeling the heart of the classic fairy tale, Novik deftly interweaves six distinct narrative voices--each learning valuable lessons about sacrifice, power and love--into a rich, multilayered fantasy that readers will want to return to again and again"--
