Part of an afternoon, some of what people were looking for: cover of book
  • books about Socrates;
  • the poetry of John Keats;
  • books about meditation, and about yoga;
    a biography of George Washington Carver;
  • an explanation of why Europe and Asia count as two continents but Oceania doesn't count at all;
  • books about anger management;
  • a weather forecast, to decide whether to take Interstate 70 or Interstate 80 across the plains;
  • information about the blood pressure drug, Micardis;
  • books for Spanish speakers on learning English;
  • articles from academic journals about genetics;
  • two print references to use in developing their science project;
  • books on American Sign Language;cover of book
  • Barbara Hambly's The Emancipator's Wife, a novel about Mary Todd Lincoln; Anam cara : a book of Celtic wisdom by John O'Donohue; Noam Chomsky's Hegemony or Survival, Pearl S. Buck's The Good Earth, Toni Morrison's Jazz,
  • and to cancel a hold on Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty.
      They also needed to know how to find the State Attorney General's office, how to attach their Word files to an email, how to ask the printer to print only the part they wanted, and tax forms.
