Mission
Wolf Ambassadors will be at the Junction City Municipal Building
on Saturday, November 7 at 10:00 am to offer a free program for
ages 6-adult.
Mission
Wolf is a non-profit educational facility and peaceful
refuge for captive born gray wolves and wolf-dog crossbreds, located
in the mountains of southern Colorado. Live wolf/wolf-dog ambassadors
travel the country to talk about wild wolf issues, the historical
and current status of wild wolves in the U.S., wolf communication
and behavior, and why wolves and wolf-dogs do not make suitable
pets.

LearningExpressLibrary
This is a subscription site made available to our library patrons who may be
planning on taking a standardized test for college entrance, graduate school
entrance, civil service, vocational career certification, nursing, TOEFL, GED,
teacher certification, advanced placement or real estate licensing. The site
also includes basic skills improvement or job and career assistance. The Learning
Express Library Web site will have detailed information on how to register to
set up an individualized account. Once you have established your account, you
will have free and unlimited access to all of the Learn-A-Test resources. (Yes--it's
free!)
Setting up a personal
account is quick and easy, but there are a couple potential hurdles for home
users. If your computer is protected by a firewall, it must be disabled
in order to log on and utilize Learn-A-Test. Your computer must also be set
to accept cookies. Learn-A-Test's cookies are not malicious, but are the kind
that permit you to navigate the Web site using your personalized logon name.
If you are unsure how to disable your firewall or enable cookies, you
can contact technical support for Learning Express at 1-800-295-9556.
