Even though ebooks may be slowly taking over, some corners of the world still love their paper and hardbacks — like this corner at Daubenberger and Castleview. The “Nani’s Little Free Library” offers neighbors in the area the opportunity to “take a book” and “return a book” in order to benefit the community with the power of reading.

Due to the recent detection of West Nile Virus in a few birds and mosquitoes in Stanislaus County, Turlock and East Side Mosquito Abatement Districts want citizens to make efforts to prevent the spread of WNV. Two pools of mosquitoes found with the virus were located in Turlock and Hughson and one dead bird was found in Turlock that tested positive for WNV. The East Side Mosquito Abatement District has also had one pool of mosquitoes in Valley Home and four dead birds in Modesto test positive.

The Jack In The Box on Geer Road recently put up a window advertisement that has caught the eye of Turlockers. The advertisement asks,“Hella Hungry?” showing a large meal while using what many consider local slang for "very" or "a lot of," among other similar descriptors.
