What is CountryWatch?  - CountryWatch is a database that provides up-to-date news and information on nearly 200 countries around the world.  The database includes country maps and flags, current news headlines, and country data about population, climate, language, currency, religion, etc.  Historical and forecast data is also included.  The CountryWatch Data feature makes it easy to compare/contrast data between countries and/or between years.

The Hultquist recently added several new magazine titles to it collection.

The JCC Cattaraugus County Programming Committee and Faculty Students Association are once again partnering with the Olean Public Library to sponsor "Community Reads."  The Community Read Project is part of the "one book, one community" movement that has spread across the U.S. from Seattle where it originated. 

This semester's selection is The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. Writing in Modern Hygienist Lisa Beth Anderson says the book "is a call to action. But the call comes from an empathetic fellow omnivore - not a guilt-inducing radical. Pollan's curiosity and tone transform the book's investigation of shoulds into an invitation for all of us, foodie and fast food lover alike, to eat mindfully."
