New BingePass Alert

Hoopla recently added a brand new BingePass to it’s growing selections. The Ken Burns Collection is now available to borrow for all hoopla users. As with all BingePasses, you only need to use 1 borrow credit to get hours upon hours of content!

Over 40+ years of great documentaries including The Civil War, Jazz, Country Music, Prohibition, The National Parks and more can be borrowed for an entire week. That’s prime bingeing material.

If you aren’t already familiar with hoopla’s BingePass offerings, now is a great time to check them out!

Happy watching!

Snow = Car Trouble = Auto Repair Source

Let’s be honest the weather lately has left much to be desired – in the Pittsburgh area when it snows you will inevitably need to repair your car. It is the law of the cosmos or something. Fear not though because we have a great resource to help you and your car get through this wintery season – Auto Repair Source! Simply log into Auto Repair Source with your library card number, and the world of car repair and maintenance is right at your fingertips. You will need to enter the appropriate year, make, model, and engine information to get to the pages you need but I believe in you! You can make this repair happen (I hope)!

Ugh.. winter why?

Okay I get it – you looked at the specs and it is all another language to you. No judgement and no worries! Auto Repair Source also offers parts and labor estimates. And don’t worry if the mechanic is speaking another language too you can pull up diagrams and image that you can zoom in on and also print if you need. Winter won’t win this one – the library has you and your car’s back!
