John Walters

author of
roads less traveled
"Roads Less Traveled tells the life stories of some truly remarkable people -- people whose lives are full of passion and purpose. They have devoted themselves to a career, an art form, an idea, or a cause.  They have literally taken their own "road less traveled." Their stories  testify to the breadth of human creativity, and the strength of the human spirit. I met these people through my work as a radio host and magazine writer. This book allows me to tell their stories in full, without the limitations of airtime or word counts. "-jw

Energy Bills Keep Rising… What Can You Do About It?

Want to know how much it’s costing to run your refrigerator?  Does the clock on your microwave use more electricity than the oven itself?  How much money can you save by using a compact fluorescent lamp instead of a standard incandescent bulb?  Should you leave your computer on all the time?


Borrow a Kill A Watt™ Meter from Tracy Memorial Library


Thanks to the New London Energy Committee, you can borrow a Kill A Watt™ meter from Tracy Memorial Library and easily calculate the electricity consumption of your household appliances and electronics.  We have three meters available for a two-week loan period.
