There are Monsters in Your Library

If you haven’t already downloaded the Dictionary.com app, it’s worth checking out!  The app offers a comprehensive dictionary and thesaurus with pronunciations that can be played out loud.

The folks at Dictionary.com also share regular blog posts and slide shows on interesting words, phrases, and more.  A few of my current favorites include:

• What do the M’s in M&Ms stand for?
• What is the precise difference between ghouls, goblins, and ghosts?
• Fall used to have a different name and why is autumn a mystery?
• Be Very Afraid: 8 Monsters of Literature & Folklore  (FYI:  We have stories for all of these scary characters in our libraries.  Search the online catalog to find one today.)
