Veterinarians nationwide reported that corporate managers pushed clinics to focus on profit, with vets often paid based on revenue. This encouraged them to see more pets, order more tests, and upsell services, creating a growing burden for uninsured pet owners.

Pet insurance could help you offset some of these rising costs, with some providing up to 90% reimbursement.

Library Express Will Replace RIOmobile to Expand Community Access

After nearly a decade of service, the New Braunfels Public Library’s RIOmobile bookmobile has reached the end of its operational life. But instead of replacing it with another large vehicle, the library is launching a new mobile outreach program, the Library Express, using a refurbished Ford Transit van.

The new outreach model will bring library services directly to the community, visiting parks, community centers, and events to offer story times, digital literacy training, and interactive workshops.

It will also help deliver materials to senior centers and residents unable to visit the library.

“We are confident that this new mobile outreach strategy will allow us to reach more people, provide more relevant services, and have an even greater impact on the community,” said Library Director Cole Johnson. The Library Express is set to launch later this year.
