The Database Place: Teen Health and Wellness
It's not easy being a teenager. At least, I know I hated it.
Teens face issues like peer pressure, drugs, alcohol, sex, hormonal upheavals, violence, depression, bullying, cliques, grades, sports, etc.
The Chippewa Falls Public Library, however, keeps teens in mind. We have a pretty good young adult section and we're making the effort to give it a "This Is Yours" feeling for teens.
We also subscribe to The Teen Health and Wellness database. The search box is at the top of this blog entry. Tell a teen or teen-go-between about the database, if you'd be so kind. It has frank, accurate information that neither drags teens where they don't want to go nor insults their intelligence by skirting or padding the difficult.
It's worth a look. And it's all yours.

Unclaimed Property--May 6th
Ever wonder if somebody out there owes you something and you don't even know it? Well, there's a way to find out, and you can do it at the library.
Wisconsin State Treasurer Dawn Marie Sass will be here at the Chippewa Falls Public Library on May 6th, 2010 from 10:00am-11:30am. She's asked us to be a host site for her Unclaimed Property Outreach Tour. The State of Wisconsin has a nifty database that compiles the names and addresses of people to whom money is owed (from estates, settlements, etc.), who owes them and how much they are owed. You can claim your money right on site and help them clear this database, which is pretty sizable, from what I understand.
In Chippewa County alone, there are more than 4,000 accounts worth nearly $2 million.
The kind folks of the Wisconsin Treasury Department will be set up in the LARGE MEETING ROOM right off the entrance hall, and participation is absolutely free, even if you don't have anything in the database. Tell a friend! Maybe you'll BOTH get paid.
