Vote Well

Voting is one of the most basic rights of all Americans. But with that right comes a certain amount of responsibility-- to make an informed choice. If only there was a place that had lots of current information available in a variety of formats... newspapers, online databases, wireless access for your laptop, easy access to the Web. One-stop shopping if you will. If only....

Oh wait, that's right. There is such a place-- the Library! What a coincidence that this is a library blog. But it is-- so come in and peruse the papers, or check out the candidate's websites, or fact-check the candidate's claims.

Here are some quick links that might be of use.
