About Our Cover…

September is “Library Card Sign Up Month.“ Has it been awhile since you’ve visited the MacDill Library? If so, you might be surprised to learn about all the new resources available to you right here on base. In addition to the 30,000 books and 100+ magazine subscriptions, you will find Rosetta Stone language systems, Dantes/ CLEP study guides, suggested reading lists for the Chief of Staff, Navy, Marines, AFSO21 and even Hillsborough County Middle and High Schools.

How about downloading audio books for your morning and afternoon commute? Log onto: af.lib.overdrive.com and check out the selections to choose from. From music CDs, DVDs, videos, and the children’s room to the computer lab, your base library is a one-stop learning shop the whole family will benefit from.

Stop by this month and get your library card. You’ll be glad you did! Special thanks to our cover models this month (who are also currently-enrolled college students)… A1C Michelle Lux (6MDOS/SGOH) pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Forensics at American Military University and SSgt Sacha Mays (6MSG/CCFD) pursuing an Associate in Science degree (Radiography) at HCC. w w w . m a c d i l l f s s . c o m

During the guided tour, guests will be briefed on the interesting habits of alligators, bald eagles, fox, deer, great blue herons, ibis, egrets, and many other inhabitants. In addition, the leisurely ride is smooth, safe, and great for taking pictures. After the park tour, a “Dutch Treat” lunch is planned at Susy Q’s II located in Myakka. Following lunch, the next stop is at Hunsader Farms -- a large produce and feed mercantile. The farm offers fresh fruits and vegetables, picnic areas, a petting zoo, rides of various types for children, a u-pick area, fresh ice cream, and the best strawberry milkshakes you’ve ever tasted! Finally, the trip concludes with a stop at Rosa Fiorelli Winery which is just a few miles down the road from Hunsader Farms.
