Check out the library
If you are planning to do some reading on vacation or during some travel time, check out the hundreds of downloadable audio books at the public library.
You can download best-selling titles to your PC, then transfer them to an iPod or burn them to a CD.
They are made available through the Maryland Digital e-Library Consortium. You can also load up on paperbacks from the well-stocked racks at the Hancock Library in Widmeyer Park.
Your friendly librarian is always ready to make suggestions of new best-sellers or old favorites.
Let a mom brag
It was just announced that four Hancock students, including our younger son, Stephen Weatherholt, made the dean's list for the spring semester at Frostburg State University. Stephen is joined by Erin Smith, Alexis Cavey and Daniel Mauk, as students who achieved a 3.4 average grade at FSU. Keep up the good work, ladies and gentlemen.
