Library Update - March 9th, 2009

I'm back from vacation! It was a fantastic trip and I may take some time to write about it (or I might not). In the mean time I'm sure you've missed my council night updates from the Grande Prairie Public Library, so with out further ado here's the latest from the GPPL:

Video Game Tournament
Super Smash Brothers Brawl on the Wii

The Featured Online Research Tool for March is: Hobbies & Crafts Reference Centre
Are you looking to start a new hobby? Maybe you’re looking for crochet patterns or ideas for scrapbooking? The Hobbies & Crafts Reference Center provides full-text content for many popular hobbies, crafts and recreational activities. More than 500 magazines and books, as well as access to 333 videos and 144 hobby reports are included.
