Staycation Tips @ HCPL
The latest edition of Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary contains nearly 100 new words. One of those newly minted entries is staycation and you may want to take one before the summer ends.
A staycation happens when you become a tourist within or around your local area. You have all the comforts of home with none of the stress. It's a fun and easy way to learn more about your hometown, while also enjoying some relaxation time.
If you decide to take your own mini-getaway, be sure to check out the some of these titles from the Harris County Public Library before you venture out on a tour:
