NEW! GEOGRAPHY DATABASES

Global Road Warrior, The Ultimate Guide To The World, is a boon for business travelers and vacationers alike. Learn about the currency, useful phrases, climate, health and medical care, locations of embassies and consulates, travel requirements, trensportation, money and banking, points of interest, society and culture, and business culture.

A to Z Maps Online, The World's Most Useful Map Database, includes over 145,000 maps, many of which are royalty-free and can be downloaded and used in reports and presentations. Want to learn more about the world's earthquake regions? Take a look at the World Seismicity maps. Or the distribution of tree species in the United States. Or North American hurricane history.

All this and more, and all you need is your 14-digit library card number.

CUT THE CARBON!
Thanks to a partnership with the New Hampshire State Library and nhsaves, Rye Public Library has three Kill-A-Watt meters to loan out. The goal of this state-wide energy savings initiative is to help you measure both your energy consumption and the efficiency of the electric appliances in your home. The Kill-A-Watt meter measures energy consumption by the kilowatt-hour — the same unit of measurement that utilities use. It can estimate the electrical consumption and costs associated with each appliance by the hour, day, week, month or even an entire year. Each kit includes instructions on how to use the meter, what the information means and tips about energy consumption. See just how much it costs to leave on appliances, computers, and printers, and how much money devices such as phone chargers can waste when they are left in an outlet after completing a charge.

MUSEUM PASSES
Through the generosity of the Friends of Rye Public Library, we offer a number of prime museum passes, including The Children's Museum, the Peabody Essex Museum, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Boston Museum of Science. You may reserve your tickets online using your library card, or you may call us and we'll reserve it for you. Museum passes are good for one day only and are due back the following day. Resolve to check out a museum pass this year!
