This week we talk about the Greene County Courthouse fire, Libby, and Kanopy. We also have JMRL’s periodicals librarian, Eric, on the podcast to talk about the different types of kits that you can check out.

Libby is a service that allows you to borrow ebooks, audiobooks, magazines, and so much more!

Kanopy is a streaming service that allows you to stream movies and television shows. It even has a section dedicated to children’s shows.

You can find Libby, Kanopy, and so much more on JMRl’s website under Digital Library.

Check out JMRL’s Library of Things that has everything from a light therapy kit and a telescope to radon monitors and a ghost hunting kit! JMRL even has a toy library for those who spend time with children or who are children at heart.
