The Top 5 Questions People Ask MCPL Staff
Each year, libraries across the country take some time in April to highlight "the valuable role libraries, librarians and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities," as the American Library Association's website notes. Specifically, April 7–13 is National Library Week, and April 9 is National Library Workers Day. While the Marathon County Public Library (MCPL) doesn't have events specifically planned to celebrate the week, one look at our jam-packed events calendar will give you a sense of the unique programming our nine library locations offer throughout the year to engage and connect children, teens, working adults, retirees and more. We don't want to pat...

Superman Turns 80!
If you traveled back in time to June of 1938 you could buy yourself a copy of Action Comics #1 (the first comic book to feature Superman) for 10 cents. Today, the same copy would cost you a few million dollars! Superman was created by Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel in the late 1930s and has since become the most recognized superhero. The character is often credited with giving rise to the entire superhero/comic book genre. In the decades since, Superman has grown into a multi-media enterprise. His heroic tales have been portrayed through radio, TV, film, and more, not to mention the countless collectables items and merchandise he's inspired. Marathon County Public Library is celebrating this milestone...

What to Read After "The Handmaid's Tale"
The Handmaid's Tale, written by Canadian author Margaret Atwood in 1985, has been a popular dystopian novel that's never gone out of print. Set in a near future East coast city, the U.S government has been overthrown by a religious totalitarian regime, and due to environmental and medical catastrophes much of the population is infertile. Besides the elite, women have lost all autonomy, and the fertile few are cast as Handmaids, their only purpose to reproduce for those in charge. Atwood's writing comments on the social, political, and religious trends of America, speculating what reality would become if those trends were taken to the limit. The Handmaid's Tale has been a feminist favorite that seems to...

Drive Thru to Reopen at MCPL Wausau
The Marathon County Public Library is happy to announce that the drive thru at its Wausau Headquarters will reopen for public use at 9 a.m. on Monday, March 27! Located on the west side of the building, MCPL Wausau's drive thru has been closed since last October due to a construction project occurring in the library's basement area. That lower level is being renovated in order to move the Friends of the Marathon County Public Library down from their current home on the library's third floor. Though this project is still ongoing, it is far enough along for the drive thru to reopen to the public. Aside from picking up requested items, patrons may also pay their fines at the...

Library Working to Resolve Catalog Error
UPDATE 2/6/17: This issue has now been resolved. If you happen to experience any further problems accessing the library catalog, please feel free to contact us and let us know about the issue. Original post: Beginning late last week, some library patrons began encountering sporadic errors when trying to access the library catalog, also known as V-Cat. So far, the error does not seem dependent upon the device, operating system or web browser patrons are using. The error is something we are aware of and is something the Wisconsin Valley Library Service (who maintains the catalog) is currently working to resolve. If you attempt to access the catalog and experience an...

Kids and Parents: Get Acquainted with MCPL
New environments can be intimidating for any child, but for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder, that fear can be amplified. New places – especially those in public – come with all sorts of unfamiliar sights, smells, and sounds, all of which can be overwhelming for kids on the spectrum. With our new monthly Sensory Story Time starting up in just a few days, we've put together a short photo slideshow to help better acquaint kids and parents with the library's entrance and children's area, which we hope will help them prepare for what to expect when visiting our Wausau Headquarters.
The great thing about libraries is that they offer countless materials for a wide variety of people to experience, regardless of age, race, size, background, sexual orientation, religion or economic status. Since each person has their own opinions and expectations of what constitutes a "good book," patrons across the world sometimes challenge books in an effort to have them removed from the library's collection. Each year, the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom compiles reports from libraries, schools and the media on attempts to ban books in communities across the country. Below is the ALA's list of the top 10 most-challenged books of 2015. If you're interested in seeing what...

Join the National Library Week celebration!
Have you experienced first-hand the transformative power of a library? It's a big question, and one we hope many of you can answer with an emphatic "yes." In April, library staff across the country – and the patrons we serve – will celebrate National Library Week. The theme of this year's celebration is "Libraries Transform," and our staff has been busy planning a wide range of programs and other activities, some related to that theme and others just for the fun of it. Sure, National Library Week is a chance for our library staff to pat ourselves on the back, and to accept more pats from our patrons (we love to hear how we've helped transform your lives for the better!) But it's also a chance for us to...

Things I learned from the WLA Conference
On Nov. 4, 2015, I was fortunate to attend one day of the annual Wisconsin Library Association conference, held this year in Middleton. These conferences are a great chance to network, but more importantly, librarians and library staff from across the state come together to discuss different aspects of library operations – including sessions this year on programming, library design, collection development and engaging teens through technology, among other topics. Since MCPL covered the cost of attending the conference, I thought I would share with you, the public, some of the things I saw and learned during this beneficial excursion. The morning keynote address was from Mita Williams, a librarian at...

Working to combat hunger and homelessness
Rep. Sean Duffy recently organized his third-annual Hunger and Homelessness Summit on Nov. 9 in Rothschild to bring together people from throughout central Wisconsin – government, business, individuals and non-profit folks – to discuss hunger and homelessness. More than 100 people participated, and I attended the summit to participate in discussions and learn about other community efforts that may help some of the patrons we serve at the library. As we gather with our families and friends in our homes to share holiday meals, I thought this would be a good time to share information not only from the summit, but also about available library resources. The need for overnight shelter and food assistance has...

A letter to our friends and neighbors about our Planning and Visioning from the Library Director Over the coming weeks we will be hosting listening sessions at the main library in downtown Wausau.

ALA's Choose Privacy Week (May 1-7)
The Heartbleed bug, the Internet Explorer security flaw, changes to Facebook's privacy settings, credit card breaches at major retail stores; all are examples of privacy and security breaches headlining local and nationals news. Since our lives are so connected to the Internet, it sometimes can feel like we don't have a lot of control over our digital lives, and especially our privacy. Choose Privacy Week is an American Library Association (ALA) initiative that focuses on digital privacy rights.

Four libraries increase summer hours
Responding to patron demand and other factors, the Marathon County Public Library Board of Trustees recently increased operating hours at four MCPL locations.

The changes mean the locations' winter hours are now in effect year-round, and include: Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and closed Sunday at the three branches (previously closed all weekend).

MCPL Joins the Pushback Against Drug Abuse Campaign!
Drugs are an increasingly serious problem in Marathon County. The illegal manufacture, sale and abuse of heroin, prescription drugs and other illicit drugs such as methamphetamines is increasing in our county. This, in turn, threatens the public safety and health of our families, friends and neighbors. In order to combat this growing threat, the Marathon County Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Partnership has launched Pushback Against Drugs, a public awareness initiative to raise awareness of the scope of illicit drug use in Marathon County and inspire public involvement and actions that help Prevent, Enforce and Treat drug abuse.

Keep cool at the library
With temperatures expected to reach in the 80s and 90s, local officials are urging residents to protect themselves from heat related illness. One way to do that is by coming to the library. All Marathon County Public Library locations have been designated as official cooling centers, places where residents without air conditioning can get relief from the extreme heat. We also will have bottled water available. According to the Marathon County Health Department, most heat-related illnesses involve the elderly, individuals who have chronic illnesses, children, athletes and outdoor workers. To prevent risks from excessive heat, the health department suggests people do the following: ...
The Marathon County Public Library...An International Resource!

Providing Better Service to Customers With Hearing Loss!
The Marathon County Public Library recently installed 'Hearing Loop' devices at the Main, Children's and Reference desks at the Headquarters Library in Wausau. Hearing Loops are a type of Hearing Assistive Technology that work in conjunction with hearing aids or cochlear implants. They pick up the staff person's voice via a microphone and transmit it wirelessly to the hearing aid or implant worn by the customer. The customer thus receives a direct, clear signal that is not garbled by distance or background noise. These devices will enable staff to better assist customers with hearing loss while maintaining customer privacy.
MCPL's current, future efforts
A recent survey from the Pew Research Center found adults still love to hold a library book, but also want libraries to keep up with technology and provide a comfortable environment – all priorities for Marathon County Public Library staff as well. The Pew study, released in January, found the overwhelming highest use of libraries – 73 percent – is borrowing print books. With more than 250,000 print books in our system, we gladly facilitate that unique feeling of cracking open a good book. Yet we also know – and the Pew survey backs it up – that our patrons expect greater access than ever before to electronic books and audio books. In 2012, we tripled the number of e-books available to about 54,000...

The 1860 Census was the last time the federal government took a count of the South's vast slave population.

Verne is Thankful
Come and visit Verne at the Wausau HQ library lobby. But don't let his Hawaiian shirt fool you. For underneath that hat he's an All-American Pilgrim Pig who can't let go of his island origins. Here's the story. Around 300 AD Verne set out from points west with the first Polynesian explorers. With skill, luck and pig-navigation they landed safely in Hawai'i. Lacking metal knives (for carving pigs), pottery (in which to boil them) and a written language (for writing cute little stories such as, "The Three Little Makahiki Pigs") Verne was lonely but safe in ancient Hawai'i. Modern Hawai'i came in 1778 with the unexpected, unwanted arrival of British Captain James Cook. Warfare was forbidden...

A game prototype created for My First Game Jam: Summer Edition! You play as a turtle who is doing his best to eat as many strawberries as he can!
I've been meaning to learn Unity for some time, and this was a nice opportunity to jump in! My main focus for this game jam was to learn more about a new game engine and to refresh my coding skills. It's been a lot of fun!
I actually wanted a more polished game to submit and have already begun adding in art assets and refining the gameplay, but what I was able to accomplish in the time frame was just this prototype! I hope you enjoy it and look forward to the finished version!

EasyJet to set up Austrian HQ to operate EU flights after Brexit
Airline still faces legal uncertainty about whether it will be able to fly between the UK and EU, and on what terms.
EasyJet is to open a new European headquarters in Austria to enable it to continue to operate flights within the EU after Brexit.
The airline said it intended to establish a new airline, easyJet Europe, which would be headquartered in Vienna.
The carrier has been searching for a new operating licence from an EU country while uncertainty hangs over its business. Without the Austrian licence, easyJet would be unable to continue flights between other EU countries.
The restructuring of the business, which will involve the re-registering of 110 aircraft under Austrian jurisdiction, is expected to cost at least £10m – although the overall costs of Brexit to the airline have run much higher, with currency devaluation alone hitting profits by £88m in 2016 and £82m in the first half of this year.
EasyJet still faces legal uncertainty over whether it will be able to fly between the UK and Europe, and on what terms, after Brexit. Ryanair repeated its warnings to the European parliament this week that there was a real prospect of no flights operating between the EU and UK for a period in 2019.
EasyJet said it was continuing to push for negotiators "to reach an aviation agreement which at a minimum will enable flights between the UK and EU".
The company said the Vienna move would make it a pan-European aviation group – with three airlines based in Austria, Switzerland and the UK – that would be controlled by easyJet plc, which would remain listed on the London Stock Exchange.
EasyJet, which employs 4,000 staff in continental Europe, said the move would not affect UK jobs – its 6,000 employees in Britain would continue to be based in Luton and its 11 other bases across the country.


Two of the smallest depots in Scotland - Girvan and Jedburgh - closed during the summer. They join other small depots that no longer exist, such as Newburgh (Fife), Pitlochry (Midland) and Nairn (Highland). Below is a sample of some of Scotland's smallest depots.
The long hot summer of 1976 - even in Scotland. Northern Alexander/Fords NT18/19 (SRS518/19K) at Buckie depot in July of that year. Buckie still has a depot, but on a new site. Jedburgh depot closed due to losing its routes following tendering. Eastern Scottish ZC465L (BFS465L), an Alexander/Bedford, is seen in Edinburgh returning to base in October 1976.
Highland owned many small depots by the nature of its geography. Their D928 (SMS128P), a well travelled Alexander/Fleetline, is seen at Tain depot in July 1990. There is still a depot in Tain. Girvan was strictly a sub-depot of Ayr, but had its own allocation of ten vehicles. A Stagecoach Western Scottish Dart is seen on the last week of operation in August 2000.


A celebration of music by Stravinsky, Bartòk, Weill, and Bloch, emigrants to the U.S. in the 1910s, 20s and 30s. Plus Glazunov's Saxophone Concerto with Jonathan Guffey.
The UCR Chamber Orchestra from the University of California, Riverside, will perform music by Stravinsky, Weill, Bloch, Bartòk, Gershwin and Glazunov on its upcoming program, Sunday, May 6 at 7:00pm. Participating in a college-wide focus on immigration by the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, the Chamber Orchestra program celebrates the brilliant generation of European composers who left Europe and found a new home in the United States during the upheavals of first half of the twentieth century. The styles range from Stravinsky's buoyant, spiky neo-classicism in his Suite No. 1 (1925) and Bartòk's rich folk-music explorations in his Romanian Folk Dances (1917) to the emotional spirituality of Ernest Bloch's Concerto Grosso No. 1 (1925) and the biting, cabaret wit of Kurt Weill's Little Threepenny Music (1928). The Lullaby for strings by George Gershwin (himself the child of immigrants) hints at the tremendous impact on America's popular music this wave of migration would have. Also featured on the program is alto saxophonist Jonathan Guffey, joining the orchestra for the 1934 Saxophone Concerto by Russian composer Alexander Glazunov, a virtuosic favorite heard here with its original string-orchestra accompaniment. Ruth Charloff conducts the program.
Hours: One hour before performances in the Performance Lab, ARTS 166.

River Colne, Essex
The River Colne is a minor river in Essex that flows through Colchester . It is not a tributary of a larger water course and issues directly into the sea via an estuary near Brightlingsea and Mersea Island. The river runs through the Colne Valley which has a flood plain spanning around 300 metres when it reaches Colchester. The land along the river here has remained as pasture because the river only needs to rise two feet to burst its banks. As it passes near to Colchester North Railway Station, the Colne runs under a bridge and is directed into a concrete-lined basin that served as an open-air bathing facility until the 1960s. The basin is now in use by canoeists. The river then meanders under a road bridge at the bottom of North Hill before rushing over a weir used for discharge control at Middlemill, once the site of a mill. Footbridges cross the river to link the town centre to the residential areas that lie on the north side of the flood plain. This area occasionally floods during heavy or sustained rainfall. The river runs along one side of a small lake before falling over another large weir and leaving Colchester. From this point on the River Colne is tidal. Downstream of Colchester the Colne flows through Wivenhoe and past the tidal barrier before joining the sea at the estuary by Brightlingsea.

"Good Afternoon. First, I would like to thank the organization called Seeds of Literacy for opening up their doors and for educating people like myself and others to earn their G.E.D. and feel proud of themselves. I'm very grateful for that organization.
I always wanted that education so I could have better job choices and feel better about myself and have a better quality of life. Now that I have my G.E.D., the sky's limitless as to what I can do.
I want to thank my husband Dale, my family, friends, and coworkers for all the support and encouraging words that they have shown towards me.
I would also like to thank the organization the Commission on Adult Basic Education for putting on this event across the world and educating people in many different ways of literacy.

The Path to Reopening Is Winding
Physical Classroom Reopening Unlikely This Fiscal Year JANUARY 13, 2021 – (Cleveland) "The path to reopen is not straight," President & CEO Bonnie Entler said …


This fascinating volume addresses the processes and mechanisms taking place in the cell during meiosis and recombination. It covers multicellular eukaryotes such as Drosophila, Arabidopsis, mice and humans. Once per life cycle, mitotic nuclear divisions are replaced by meiosis I and II - reducing chromosome number from the diploid level to a haploid genome, reshuffling the homologous chromosomes by their centromeres, and recombining chromosome arms by crossing-over.

In the past year a lot has happened at Psyleron. We began operating in 2005 with the goal of providing research equipment and technology to the general public, and since then we have learned a great deal about mind-matter interaction. Recently we have been expanding in new and exciting ways. About a month ago, we moved into a new facility in Princeton, and we have begun to introduce a new line of products meant to aid in demonstrating and exploring the mind-matter connection.
In the spirit of our original goal, we offer these products as bridges between scientific research and experiential understanding of consciousness correlated physical effects. They are grounded in technologies and processes that have statistical outcomes suitable for analysis by clever experimenters – but are also quite capable of providing users with an enjoyable way to better understand themselves and the impact that their mind has on the physical world. Some of them even make great gifts.
The Mind Lamp is an attractive desk lamp that changes color based on the output of an internal random event generator. It was created for individuals who want to be able to explore consciousness related effects without any prior knowledge of statistics or the need for a personal computer. In our preliminary explorations with experienced REG operators, some have reported that the "real world" nature of the device lends itself to more exciting results than a computer based REG. Click here for more information about the Mind Lamp, or to order your own. Click Here for more info and to order!
Below are just a few examples of the colors that the lamp changes into.
We will soon be unveiling an online service that uses REGs to send customized messages to your cell phone. We've had some very interesting "synchronistic" experiences using it in our testing stage. We will send more about the "Mobile Alerter Service" in our next newsletter.
For current REG-1 users, the Psyleron community has been evolving from a simple data uploading site to a place where users can share their experiences and ideas relating to mind-matter experiments and the nature of physical reality. If you already have an REG-1, be sure to download the latest software and Contact Psyleron if you are interested in participating with individuals who share your interest.
As part of our plans for continued research and educational outreach, Herb Mertz, a Psyleron co-founder, has purchased a building in Princeton to house the joint efforts of Psyleron and ICRL. Located a few blocks from the University on Harrison St., we are planning to use the new space to continue our formal research program, to provide educational materials and workshops to the public, and to test new products. If you are interested in visiting or generating data sometime after the new year, please Contact Us.
We invite your questions or inquiries about our activities and products. If you would like to know more about what we are doing or if you have any suggestions about how we can better explain our products and concepts, please send us an e-mail.

Landlords Warned to Prepare for New HMO Rules
View All News & Insights
As of the 1st April 2019, the licensing laws for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) in Northern Ireland have changed. Mandatory HMO licensing is being extended because of concerns about the number of HMOs operated by landlords who rent out sub-standard, overcrowded and dangerous accommodation, exploit vulnerable tenants and in some cases defraud the public purse.
A house in multiple occupation is a single property in which multiple households live and share basic amenities. A typical HMO may have a kitchen and/or bathroom shared between two or more rented households. These laws do not apply to rented flats or apartments with separate facilities.
According to figures obtained by the BBC, there are over 6,000 HMOs in Northern Ireland. More than 4,000 of these properties are based in Belfast.
Under the new scheme, all HMOs in Northern Ireland must hold a valid licence and landlords without licences or found to be in breach of the conditions of their licence, risk significant fines of up to £20,000 and/or prosecution.
HMOs previously been registered with the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, which still benefit from valid unexpired licences, will automatically transfer to the new local council scheme. HMO licenses are valid for a period of five years and must be renewed periodically.
The licensing of all HMOs in Northern Ireland is now managed by the relevant local council. The ultimate purpose of the new legislation is to ensure that the accommodation is safe for the tenants and surrounding neighbours. Under the legislation, landlords must have an anti-social behaviour plan in place and keep a record of instances of anti-social behaviour and what actions have been taken by the landlord to deal with the situation. Landlords will be provided with a guide from the Council, advising them on how to tackle these issues.
The legislation also requires HMOs to adhere to certain health and safety standards. The property must benefit from valid up to date safety and maintenance certificates for all relevant appliances.
From the 15th April 2019, tenants of HMOs will be able to contact their local council to check if the property they reside in is registered as a HMO. Under the legislation, the tenant can report their landlord to their local council if the tenant suspects that there is not a valid licence in place or if the conditions of the licence are being breached.
The local council has the power to impose certain conditions on licenses and revoke HMO licenses if conditions are not being met.
The rules could have a major impact on city landlords who rent out premises to students and the growing number of professionals who share houses and flats.
