Elections 2008!

It's election time here again in the United States and electing a new president is foremost on everyone's list. This has been an exciting and interesting campaign as it has featured some ground breaking people. While the Tarver Library is apolitical, we do believe that EVERYBODY needs to get out and vote. To that end over the next few weeks we'll be sharing some resources that provide information ranging from voting to information about the electoral process in general, many of which are library resources! Did you know we have books on McCain and Obama? Well we do! So, please stay tuned and enjoy the resources.

Check out this link for a great collection of voting resources, even gives you information on where to register to vote if you haven't done so already.

Need even more information on wide variety of election 2008 resources? Check out the Librarian's Internet Index! Full of great resources and information on the election. These are specially chosen websites by, you guessed it, librarians from across the country.

News and analysis about the 2008 presidential election. This site, from the Chicago Tribune, includes profiles, photos galleries, comparison of stands on selected issues, and quizzes to test how well you know candidates John McCain and Barack Obama.

This is a website for "a joint project from The Brookings Institution and American Enterprise Institute, [which] joins leading demographers, geographers and analysts in examining the impact of seven trends on the 2008 election and the future of American politics." It features project papers on topics such as the decline of the white working class and immigration and America's changing electorate, and more!

Stay tuned next week for even more information and resources from the library! Remember to stop in and see us if you have any questions.
