Benicia Public Library

For the month of March, Alexander Street is allowing their popular website Women and Social Movements in the Unites States, 1600-2000, to be viewable free and without passwords to the public.  Take this opportunity to explore this collection of primary materials and teaching tools.  The freedom goes away April 1.

Daylight saving time starts this year on the second Sunday of March and yes, that means this Sunday!  Don't forget to change your clocks before you go to bed on Saturday so you're not late to all your Sunday events!

Use our FREE Wireless Printing service from home.

Go to our website: www.benicialibrary.org and click on the Wireless Services button.  When the page opens click on the Wireless Printing Button and fill in the fields.  Come to the library the same day and your documents will be waiting for you on the printer computer.  Printing is 15 cents per page and your job will not release until you pay.  Privacy maintained.

The first U.S. census was taken in 1790 by the U.S. Marshalls on horseback.  At that time, there were 3.9 million people living here.  In 2000, the population had risen to 280 million.  What will the number be this year?  The census form is coming to your house in the mail this month, please take some time to fill it out. 

Census data is taken every ten years as required by the Constitution to equally redistribute the seats in the House of Representatives among the states based on population.
