Live Oak Public Libraries   
September,  2015 

Did you know that September is Library Card Sign-Up month? It's a national campaign, and we'll be out and about throughout the month of September encouraging people to get a Live Oak Public Libraries Power Card!

When you get a new library card or renew your current card, it's also an opportunity to register to vote. Public libraries are designated voter registration sites, so it's quick and easy to get your library card and register to vote all at the same time.
Have you checked out evertything you can do with your Power Card? It can be used for so much more than checking out great books to read...although you can certainly do that too! With your library card you have access to power learning tools such as:
Tutor.com offers free, live, online tutoring every day from 3 to 10 p.m. Great for Grades 1 through 12, College Students, Adult Education, or Career Assistance! Tutor.com offers more than 2,000 tutors who work from their home or office from throughout North America. Tutors include certified teachers, college professors and professional tutors, all with proven subject experience in the fields they tutor.

Mango Languages, a language-and-culture-learning resource that offers access to 60 foreign language courses and 17 English courses taught completely in the user's native language. Each lesson combines real-life situations and audio from native speakers with simple, clear instructions. The courses are presented with an appreciation for cultural nuance and real-world language learning: vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and culture.

Access Video On Demand offers thousands of exclusive educational videos from top producers such as PBS, BBC, American Frontiers, and many others.

World Cinema Collection offers feature films and documentaries from around the world by producers such as Global Lens and Films Sans Frontieres.

Check out our website for more great things you can access with your library card! 

And don't forget, Friends of the Library group will be holding their fall used book sale at the end of this month.  With your Friends' membership, you have the opportunity to support the library and get into the preview night.

"Rise and Shine!" by Johnathon Barrett is a Southern gentleman's delicious culinary journey through the Land of Dixie, confirming that food does indeed equate to love. "Rise and Shine!" is an engaging, funny, and poignant memoir about a Southern son and his lifelong relationship with food.

Johnathon takes you on a decades-long journey of culinary exploration, starting in the 1960s in his hometown of Perry, Georgia. There in the low-rolling hills and slow-moving creeks of Middle Georgia he tells - with good humor and reflection - stories about his family, and how for generations farm-to-table food was a mainstay in their daily lives.

With several menus and 100 recipes ranging from down-home picnic offerings such as 'Joyce's Don't Mess with Success Pimento Cheese' to a magnificent platter of 'Grouper Meunière,' the author provides a wonderful array of delights for contemporary cooks. Johnathon Scott Barrett is a seventh-generation Georgian, and grew up amongst a family that placed high value on fresh, farm-to-table food. He has held onto those roots and become a renowned cook and host in culinary rich Savannah. A nonprofit executive and CPA, Johnathan is also an avid reader, fisherman, and gardener.

LIMITED SEATING! $75 per person, includes a copy of the book.
