Word Woman

Welcome to another exciting installment of Word Woman's Weekly Work-Out! The brain is a use-it-or-lose-it type of tool. If you don't keep it sharp and bright, it won't be in good shape when you need it, so be sure to hone your neural network with mental exercises like learning new words. Here's the Word of the Week to get you started:

Impugn: (im-pyoon) [verb] to assail by argument; call in question or oppose as false -- "The New York Times Everyday Reader's Dictionary of Misunderstood, Misused, Mispronounced Words", Laurence Urdang, Ed., Weathervane Books, The New York Times Book Company, 1972.

Example: The Master of Socrates Cafe often impugns the relevance of neologistic slang terms selected by Word Woman for the Word of the Week.

September is National Library Card Sign-up Month, and Missoula Public Library wants you to Think…MORE!

Oh no! The engine in Harry's vintage VW Bug was acting up again! Perhaps it would take some sort of magic to get it running right? Actually, there was an easier way. Harry stopped by his local library and turned to the Chilton's Repair Manuals in the Reference section. Soon, his car was running better than ever.

Just another cool thing you can do with your library card.
