    I was on a multistate road trip when I got a business call that I must sign and return a document…read morewithin that hour. Poor cell connection during the day's travel meant prior calls had not come through that day and a hard deadline was here. Looking ahead on the travel route I picked Mt. Vernon as a place that might have the facilities I required. No e-sign, but print, ink sign, and scan/email (not fax) a document was the time sensitive task before me. I found that office supply chain store listed. A man answering there said the store did not have the capability to have me print a page from email, ink sign, and scan/email. I called this library. After explaining the scenario my call was placed on hold briefly. Upon her return the librarian told me they could help. The two staff involved in helping me achieve this process were pleasant. The only charge was 20 cents for the print of one sheet of paper! They handed me a thumb drive and a staff took care of the scanning. They stayed calm when I was feeling panicked and that helped! Support public funding for public entities including local libraries! They can help you out of a jam you'd never expect to be in. They're an education source and useful through all life stages. Big thanks to the staff here!

    This place was my second home this summer! I was always here trying to study for one of my college…read moreexams. It's a great place to study and get away from distractions at home. It doesn't get too loud. I mean, come on, it's a library! They also have the air conditioning blasting over the summer so it feels great! There are plenty of tables to sit at and read, study, etc with outlets and free wi-fi! The selection of books, magazines, CDs and DVDs are a bit limited but you can always request items from other libraries and you can pick them up at this location which is convenient. The staff members are really friendly and always willing to help you out so I recommend coming here to study, find a good book or to get out of the heat! :)

    Friday May 16, 2014, Tony and I was visiting this lovely little historical river town in Illinois…read more It reminded me so much of little towns along the Ohio River in Ohio and West Virginia The house was closed the day we were here, so I was able to take some photos and then look them up on the internet to find out the history. Below the History of the home and the connection to the Trail of Tears Buel House, according to local tradition, was a significant site on the Cherokee Trail of Tears. The family of tanner Alexander Buel (?-1894) was said to have fed pumpkin to hungry Cherokee Indians being driven west by the federal government in 1838. The story is probably not true, however, since records indicate that the house was built in 1840. Still, it is a historically significant structure, having been continuously occupied by generations of one family for 146 years. There are indications that over the years Cherokee stopped at Golconda to trade while journeying to visit their former homes in Georgia. The Buel House, along with much of Golconda, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, as part of the Golconda Historic District. Situated at the base of the Ohio River bluffs, the two-story rectangular square-log structure has one-story additions on the east and north sides of the original building. Also on the site is a restored and furnished log cabin used for interpretive programs by the Pope County Historical Society. A paved lot provides parking facilities. The Pope County Historical Society provides maintenance services for the site and volunteers for guided tours. I would like to go here and check it out and tour the home. It is located down near the Rivers edge on Water Street.
