A New Tool for Info-junkies!

If you’re looking for detailed information about our community, look no further than the Cayuga and Seneca Counties Community Profile.   Sponsored by the United Way of Cayuga County, the United Way of Seneca County and several other local organizations, “the project’s aim is to provide the public with continuously updated, comparative information about Cayuga and Seneca counties across a broad range of key topics (Children and Youth, Demographics, Economy, Education, Financial Self-Sufficiency, Health and Safety and Housing).”*  

So if your research needs – or just your curiosity – lead to a need for hard facts about life in Cayuga and Seneca Counties, visit www.cayugasenecaprofile.org.  You’ll find a goldmine of stats, charts and raw data, as well as interpretations and summaries to bring them into focus.  It’s easy, it’s free and it’s all in one place!

Have You Tried TumbleBooks Yet?

TumbleBook Library is an online collection of animated, talking picture books designed to teach kids the joy of reading in a format they’ll love.  TumbleBooks are created by adding animation, sound, music and narration to existing picture books in order to produce an electronic picture book that you can read, or have read to you.  TumbleBooks also offer story-related games and puzzles, read-along chapter books and books in Spanish, French, Russian and Chinese.  You can also select one of the TumbleTV playlists for 10-25 minutes of reading or create your own!

You can access the full TumbleBook Library online in the library or at home.  We’ve also installed TumblePad on our children’s computers for offline reading at the library.  Just click the jumping TumbleBook on the right of the screen to get started online – or log on to a children’s computer next time you visit!
