The library recently re-purposed 4 computer monitors that patrons can use as a second monitor to pair with their laptops. Connecting cables are attached but alternative cables can be checked out at the circulation desk. The monitors can be found scattered about the 4th and 5th floors and are not allowed to leave the library.

CDC – Bring Your Brave

bring-your-brave-logo_310_100

 

 

We’re almost half way through breast cancer awareness month. Bring Your Brave is a new campaign focusing on young women with breast cancer. While breast cancer usually effects women over the age of 45, it does occur in about 11% of younger women. Breast cancer can be hereditary however that’s not always the case. There are ways you can reduce your risk of getting breast cancer such as limiting your alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy weight and breastfeeding.

Breast cancer symptoms include but are not limited to:

  • Lump in the breast or underarm/armpit area
  • Thickening or swelling of part of the breast.
  • Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast.
  • Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood.

It is important to get screened if you notice any symptoms early on, in order to start fighting back sooner than later.
