NATIONAL NIGHT OUT Game Card

We hope that you enjoyed yourself at the National Night Out event. Thanks for visiting our SRPL Blog where we publish information about news and events to let you know what is going on at the Library.

Your clue is: RAZZMATAZZ


Did you know??
The Library subscribes to VISUAL THESAURUS, a database that gives you all kinds of information about words and language. You can explore words through this very inviting interface that locates your word at the center of a diagram. One of it's features is a set of boxes to the right which break down the word into its various usages as a noun, adjective, verb, or adverb. You can even turn these on or off if you want to concentrate on only one part of speech.

To explore other features of Visual Thesaurus*, go to:

You'll need to scroll a little to find the Visual Thesaurus link. Once you reach the VT homepage, click on HOW IT WORKS in the menu at the top of the page.

* Oh,and have your Library card ready, you'll be prompted for your number at the Login Screen.
