Meg Cabot s Insatiable and the sequel Overbite are two chick-lit books with bite. This series may appeal to fans of Charlaine Harris, Mary Janice Davidson, Stephenie Meyer, and Darynda Jones because of the supernatural elements and satirical sense of humor. Meena Harper is a psychic who uses her gift to try and prevent the deaths of others. She ends up in one paranormal adventure after another as she teams with a vampire hunter intent on destroying the man she loves. Fun to read. Anon IX

In 2001, he proposed a resolution to Congress to declare October of each year as Family History Month. The Demmer Library celebrates Family History Month in October by working with the Three Lakes Genealogical Society to hold a Lock-in for members and any other people interested in genealogy and family history research. After the library doors are locked, family history enthusiasts gather for an evening of uninterrupted research and access to the online and print resources available at the Demmer Library. These resources include free use of the subscription based Ancestry.com (Library Edition), Heritage Quest.com, and NewspaperArchives.com. The Demmer Library also has many excellent print resources for genealogy researchers. They are shelved in the Local History Room and all are encouraged to check them out.
