Can't Find it?
When you can't seem to find what you're looking for, we have some answers for you.
For tips and tricks on using the catalog more effectively to find what you need, read Catalog Search Tips.
If you need to know where to go to physically locate an item whose catalog record you have in front of you, the page you want is Which Shelf?. It includes some suggestions on what to do as well as a link to a brand new shelf map of the Chestertown Branch, showing where you can find each type of item. The shelf map may even point out a section you never knew was there.
If a title you want is not in the catalog, or it's in the catalog but not currently checked in, or it says it should be there, but it's not on the shelf, then you want the No Copies? page. You'll find solutions to each of these problems there.
There are links to each of these pages within the library catalog under the tab labeled "Can't Find It?" We put the links there, so your answers would be easily available, right when you're looking for them.
Happy reading!

We'll meet on the second Tuesday of each month at noon in the yellow building in the library parking lot. New participants are always welcome. Our first session is Tuesday, September 12 at 1 PM.

Global Warming: Fact or Fiction?
 |
 |
 |
Perhaps you've heard of Al Gore's new book and movie, "An Inconvenient Truth"? We have that book here at the Kent County Public Library, as well as several other recent books on the topic of Global Warming.
"Field Notes from a Catastrophe: Man, Nature, and Climate Change" by Elizabeth Kolbert takes a similar approach to Gore's, warning of impending problems related to Global Warming.
On the other hand, "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton and "Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media" by Patrick J. Michaels explain how political figures and a media out for drama have blown things out of proportion.
So, which side is right? Take a look at some of these fascinating books and decide for yourself.
