New Books @ Farnsworth

Children: Brothers at Bat by Audrey Vernick	The Acerra family had sixteen children, including twelve ball-playing boys. It was the 1930s, and many families had lots of kids. But only one had enough to field a baseball team . . . with three on the bench! The Acerras were the longest-playing all-brother team in baseball history. They loved the game, but more important, they cared for and supported each other and stayed together as a team. Nothing life threw their way could stop them.
Teen: The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey	After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one. Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.
Adult: Guy Gourmet by Adina Steiman and Paul Kita	Man cannot live on bread alone. He also needs chili and steak, tacos and jambalaya, barbecued ribs and burgers. But what about keeping body and mind in top-notch condition? How do you satisfy your appetite and stay lean and healthy? GUY GOURMET: Great Chefs’ Amazing Meals for a Lean & Healthy Body, the ultimate guide to crafting easy, delicious meals at home. GUY GOURMET, the first-ever cookbook from Men’s Health magazine, features more than 150 healthy, delicious recipes, many from the best chefs in the nation –

Help Oconto County by Taking this Survey:

This survey results will be used to help increase access to good, broadband internet across the state. Here is the information on the survey:

Based on preliminary residential surveys, some residents of our state have indicated the availability and speed of their current broadband is inadequate for their needs. We at DPI know that equitable access to Internet across the state supports learning to occur anywhere, anytime; by supporting this survey we hope that we can begin to address the digital divide experienced in many regions of the state.

Results will be used in two ways: 1) locations will be mapped to show unmet needs or demand for high speed Internet; 2) submissions will be used to communicate need to area Internet providers.
