The big news for Helen Plum this month is the addition of a new eMagazine service called Zinio. Zinio is an online digital magazine service with simultaneous access for HPL patrons. Digital magazines are the exact same material found in print magazines with additional features such as video, audio and live links. These magazines can be downloaded to your iPad, iPhone, Android phone, Kindle Fire, Nook HD+, laptop, or computer desktops. To start reading digital magazines, click on the Zinio logo to the left or on the new e-library tab near the top of the page!

The Helen Plum Library offers Notary Public Services at no charge. This service is available at the Circulation Desk but please call ahead to make sure a notary is available. Remember to bring valid signed photo ID with you and do not sign the document in advance. (Please note: the library cannot provide notary service for documents of conveyance or real estate, i.e. mortgages, loans, and property transfers.)
