Chilton Library Chilton manuals have long been the go-to for car maintenance and repair. However, Chilton stopped printing manuals in 2020 and now exists only as a database available through libraries. Because this database is provided by the Idaho Commission for Libraries, you'll just need to prove your a resident of Idaho by typing in your zip code and city to get started. If you're not sure how to use it in this digital format you can check-out this short tutorial.

Monica
by Daniel Clowes
Monica is a series of interconnected narratives that collectively tell the life story - actually, stories - of its title character. Clowes calls upon a lifetime of inspiration to create the most complex and personal graphic novel of his distinguished career. Rich with visual detail, an impeccable ear for language and dialogue, and thrilling twists, Monica is a multilayered masterpiece in comics form that alludes to many of the genres that have defined the medium - war, romance, horror, crime, the supernatural, etc. - but in a mysterious, uncategorizable, and quintessentially Clowesian way that rewards multiple readings.
