Mrs. Cupples tries really hard to find good links for each topic.

However, she is NOT the Commander in Chief of the Internet.

She has no control over the scallywags who post stuff that might not be right or good for kids.

Be safe when looking around the Internet, and ALWAYS tell your parents before you set off on an Internet journey! 

Get Out And Vote!

Every 4 years the people of the United States get to choose a new president.

People get to vote for the person they think will be the best at the job of leading our country.

Well, most people. 

Moms and dads and other grown ups can vote, but kids cannot.  You have to be 18 years old to vote.

This voting process is called an election.

Election Day is November 6th.

Mrs. Cupples is providing all this information so that folks can learn more about elections.  She is the library lady, so giving people info is what she does best.  She is in NO WAY endorsing any candidate. 

Also, the Internet can be a strange place.  Links that work and go to the right place today can be all broken and weird tomorrow.  So please always be safe when you are on the Internet and let your parents know what you are up to.

September 11, 2001, was a very sad day in American History.

Mrs. Cupples may be the most fabulous library lady to ever walk the earth, but she doesn't have any control over all the crazy business on the Internet.  So ALWAYS get permission from your parents before you go exploring, and let them know right away if you find anything weird.
