Beyond the Stacks: Each month we will feature a different library database, or other on-line resource. These information treasures are not free on the Internet, but are free if you go through Northland’s website and use your library card.

We’d like to introduce a new resource called LawDepot, which provides hundreds of customizable, state-specific legal documents.Millions of people have used LawDepot for estate planning, real estate transactions,

business arrangements, end-of-life issues, and divorce and pre-nuptial agreements. There are very specific documents, such as “Catering Service Agreement” or “Employee Warn-ing Letter” and more common documents such as “Power-of-Attorney” and “Revocation of Power-of-Attorney”; “Sub-lease Agreement” and “Eviction Notice”; “Promissory Note” and “Amortization Schedule”; “Partnership Agreement” and “Notice of Withdrawal from Partnership. “LawDepot goes step-by-step through the document you have selected, asking questions

as you work your way through it. All legal terms are defined using plain language. Once you have completed all of the questions, LawDepot tells you what must be done to make the document a legal one, such as who must sign and/or witness it. Once complete, you can save it or print it. You can even save it on the LawDepot website for easy reference in the future.The forms in LawDepot are legally binding docu-

ments and are accepted in all 50 states. LawDepot is not a law firm, and does not provide legal advice. When you use it, you agree that all decisions you make on legal matters are your full responsibility and you agree to retain legal counsel licensed to practice in your jurisdiction regarding any legal issue of enough importance to reasonably require it.To access LawDepot, go to www.northlandlibrary.org/databases and click on

LawDepot. If you are already using Zinio to download magazines, you will use the same log-in for LawDepot (Zinio and LawDepot are provided by the same vendor). If you haven’t been using Zinio, you will need to create a new account for Law Depot using your library card. And remember…it’s FREE with your library card!

TRAVEL FILMJoin us on Wednesday, September 17 at

2 p.m. as we take a “royal” tour of Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netan-yahu. He will take us to Jerusalem where we’ll see the Old Jewish Cemetery, which is the oldest active cemetery in the world; The Western Wall, and the Church of Gethsemane which is consid-ered the place where the last supper occurred. While in Israel we’ll also visit Tel Aviv, the Jordan River, and the Dead Sea which is the lowest and saltiest body of water on earth. In Rosh HaNikra, we’ll take a ride on the world’s steepest cable car to visit the chalky white cliffs that contain the Middle East’s version of the “Blue Grotto” of Capri. One of the last stops will be Masada, one of Israel’s most iconic sites. Refreshments will be served. No registration required.

FOREIGN FILMOn September 10 at 1:30 p.m. we

feature a romance from India called The Lunchbox. Ila wants to add some spice to her marriage by trying out a new recipe on her neglectful husband. Mumbai is famous for its efficient lunchbox delivery system. However this time it is inadvertently sent to Saajan, a lonely man on the verge of retirement. When there is no response to the meal from her husband, Ila sends a note in the following day’s lunchbox. This begins a series of notes between Ila and Saajan. The notes become confessions about one another’s loneliness. As the virtual relationship increases it might jeopardize their realities. Winner of 19 awards and 32 other nominations, this movie is sure to spice things up. Refreshments will be served. No registration is required.

WISE WALKWhat is one of the best

exercises you can do to improve your health, reducethe risk of disease, and enhance your mental well-being? The answer, according to research, is walking. After the summer’s heat, the cooler fall weather is ideal for walking and enjoying steps to bet-ter fitness.Northland Library will offer a fall 10-week

Wise Walk program, co-sponsored by the Allegheny County Library Association and UPMC. Participants will meet at the library on Tuesday, September 16 at 9:30 a.m. to receive information and some handouts, then, with a volunteer leader, will walk at North Park for 30 to 45 minutes. The group will continue to meet at Pie Traynor Field in North Park at 9:30 a.m. for the next nine Tuesday mornings to walk together and enjoy the fall weather. Water and snacks will be provided each week.

THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT - YEAR TWO: ENROLLING, RENEWING AND USING YOUR COVERAGEWhile the Affordable Care Act has put health insurance within reach for millions of

Americans, many remain uninsured and unsure of how to find quality, affordable cov-erage. The newly insured are learning the language of health insurance -- working to understand terms like: deductible, co-insurance and out-of-pocket maximum -- and how to make their new coverage work for them. And those who opted not to enroll during the first open enrollment period are considering their options in year two, wondering what financial assistance is available to reduce monthly premiums and how to connect with unbiased information about navigating the process. The Pennsylvania Health Access Network (PHAN) a non-profit, non-partisan health care

coalition that works to expand coverage to the uninsured, can help answer these ques-tions and offer one-on-one support to people planning to enroll, renew or just better understand their health coverage. Join Erin Ninehauser, PHAN representative, on Wednesday, September 10 at 7 p.m. for

an in-depth, interactive presentation on how health insurance works in the post-ACA landscape. Come with questions, leave with a solid understanding of your options and how to manage your care. A repeat of the program will be held on Monday, September 15, at 7 p.m.

10 KEYS TO HEALTHY AGINGThe older adult population in the United States is growing rapidly and is expected to

double over the next 30 years. The rapid increase in the number of older adults could result in drastic increases in health care costs, dependency and disability. Here in Allegheny County, the second largest population area of older adults in the

country, the University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Aging and Population Health has done extensive research in identifying ways to optimize active and healthy life expectancy and limit the disabling effects of age-related chronic disease. A major accomplishment of the Center has been the development of “10 Keys to

Healthy Aging,” a program designed to help members of the community learn about what people can do while they are healthy to prevent sickness and disability.On Thursday, September 11, at 7 p.m., join us as Elizabeth Rodgers, doctoral student

in the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, explains these important 10 Keys. After her presentation, she welcomes questions and discussion about the ways in which older adults can take steps to prevent illness and look forward to healthy and active aging.

Northland Library will be closed on Monday, September 1 for

Labor Day. We resume our regular hours after Labor Day. The Library will now be open on Sundays from 1-5 p.m. Northland Library will also be closed on Tuesday, September

9 for Staff Development Day. We would like to thank Shelia and Jack Murtagh for their generous sponsorship and for supporting continuing education for library staff.

AND THE TIME IS…..AN EVENING WITH POET, SAMUEL HAZOOn Monday, September 22 at 7 p.m., Sam

Hazo, Pittsburgh’s treasured poet, returns to Northland Library to share more of his poetry and some of his newly published work, spoken in his unmistakable style.Founder and director if the International

Poetry Forum, Pennsylvania’s first state poet, author of fiction, essays, poetry and plays, professor emeritus at Duquesne University, award-winning Dr. Hazo is one of the most compelling and enduring poets of his generation. Recently published, Sexes: The Marriage

Dialogues reveals Hazo’s attuned ear as he picks up insights, misunderstandings and surprising moments that are a part of mar-ried life. Also recently published, And The Time Is: Poems, 1958-2013, is a collection of his works over the years. His poetry sub-jects have ranged from the political scene to the local, from amusing small moments to the wider themes of mortality and love. Sit back and listen as Dr. Hazo discusses

the ability of poetry to capture the essence of an event and recites for our pleasure some of his recent and earlier poems.

SChEDulE ChANGESHoliday closing, hours change, Staff Development Day & a thank you!

TUESDAY NIGHT BOOK DISCUSSIONOn September 2, at 7 p.m. the Tuesday

Night Book Group will discuss The Smartest Kids in the World and How They Got that Way by Amanda Ripley. The author travels to Finland, South Korea, and Poland to discover how their students achieve such high test scores compared to their Ameri-can counterparts. The New York Times Book Review said “In the best tradition of travel writing, Ripley gets well beneath the glossy surfaces of these foreign cultures, and manages to make our own culture look newly strange.” Our selection for October is Lost Girls:

An Unsolved American Mystery by Robert Kolker.

NEW! READINGS IN ALTERNATIVE EV-ERYTHINGThis group will not

meet in September due to Northland’s closure for Staff Development Day on Tuesday, Septem-ber 9. The group will continue discussing the book entitled, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul: How to Create a New You by Deepak Chopra on Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. when meetings resume.

SECOND FRIDAY BOOK DISCUSSIONSeptember’s meeting of the Second

Friday Book Group kicks off the fall season with its annual salad luncheon followed by an informal discussion of Karen Joy Fowler’s novel, We Are All Completely Besides Ourselves. Bring a small salad or other luncheon item to share with others. Northland will provide a beverage.Karen Joy Fowler’s unusual novel, We

Are All Completely Beside Ourselves, raises many interesting questions about what is human, what is animal, and what sets hu-mans apart from their fellow primates. The narrator, Rosemary, has been raised from infancy with Fern, a chimpanzee, as her sis-ter. When Rosemary is 5, Fern disappears, and Rosemary’s life is changed forever. Fowler weaves a fascinating tale of loving but fallible people whose well-intentioned actions lead to unexpected consequences. No registration required.In October, the group will discuss Fahren-

heit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
