june task

I somehow skipped over this one~ Must have been due to SLP.
A patron had actually showed me Newseum. He is a news junkie!
I looked up all sorts of things from all over. News is not my big thing so this a great tool for me to recommend to patrons.

I have done many things using the new OPAC I just did not post my experience. So playing catch up.
The most exciting thing on the new OPAC is the series list and visuals. What a great tool.
The next best thing is how easy it is to put multiple holds on. As I was playing with it I placed many holds. I had a full box when I did not go in to cancel some. I feel when it goes live it is user friendly.

August

This was timely as today is my birthday!! I learned:

In 1920 women registered to vote,

In 1945

US President Harry S. Truman announces the surrender of Japan and civilians celebrate victory in the United States.

And a fun, short video~

American football players charge at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska. in 1954

Foodsafety.gov:

USDA recommends cooking ground beef and all cuts of pork to a safe minimum internal temperature of 160 °F. Other meats such as: beef, veal and lamb, steaks and roasts should be cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature of 145 °F. Poultry, casseroles and leftovers should reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F.
I guess the food thermometer I use only at Thanksgiving for the turkey needs to be used for more meat items!
