Holiday Photos

The upcoming holiday season is often the best time for many photo opportunities. It's a time where many family members are usually together. Many photos can be taken, just don't take too many before dinner - people are HUNGRY! And everyone hates a bad photo. SSCC libraries can help!

We have several books on the Martin campus to help you take better photos. Most people have a digital or 35 mm camera. We have books on both types of cameras. If you want to learn how to create a perfect photo, photograph children or scan pics, check out the display cases.

If you simply like looking at photos, we have several atlases of photos. I may not be able to take the best pictures but I admire anyone else who can. Looking at others may give you an idea of a background or a pose.Learn about still or motion photography right here at SSCC.

The Voter's Have Decided

The 44th President of the United States of America was elected last night. Barack Obama is now the President-elect. The is a historic event for the entire nation because he is the first African American president. I believe it was also historic in the number of people that turned out to vote. Many people, although they have been eligible to register to vote in the past,didn't vote in past elections. The number of first time voters was quite surprising.

If you would like to learn more about the inauguration, voting process, electoral college,Mr. Obama or Senator McCain, please come by the library. We have the history of our government right here at our fingertips at SSCC.The more informed you are, the better able you are to make educated decisions.You may read something in one of our books or online resources that inspires you to run for office one day.
