New MORE online catalog search features
You might have noticed some differences in the appearance and functioning of the online catalog that serves our 50 area MORE libraries beginning Feb. 11. You will get the same great services as borrowing from area libraries, access to research and genealogy databases for free, access to the Wisconsin Digital Library, ability to save your Reading History, and Library Elf reminders of what’s due. But even more fun things are possible now, like creating shelves to categorize your reading and wish lists, reading recommendations and reviews by others, and easier searching. For example, all formats of a title – book, movie, audiobook, e-book – are grouped together now when you search a title. Ask us!

Featured magazine – Nutrition Action
It’s hard to know what to eat these days, and harder to make the knowledge work in our busy lives. A great resource found free at the library is Nutrition Action magazine. It’s easy to come in and browse issues in our comfy lounge or check out to take home. It has the latest research on healthful eating and what to avoid, giving specific brand names and products. For example, a recent issue listed brands of boxed cereals that you should never feed your kids, and ones that are better and best. How is this different from what pops up on the internet? This information is compiled by professional experts, fact-checked by editors and documented.
Call 715-684-3813 for more info on all programs or see website: baldwinlibrary.org All programs are free of charge. The Municipal Bldg. at 400 Cedar St. is accessible. Open: M/W/F: 9-6, T/Th: 9-7, Sat. 9-1.
