SUMMER 2009
With warm weather beckoning you to the beach or other
fun summer locales, it’s time to brush up on some safety
and travel tips from the Summer edition of the Consumer
Information Catalog. It’s filled with a list of more than
200 free and low-cost publications that you’ve come to
trust from the Federal Citizen Information Center. Here’s a
sample of the publications you can find listed:
- Handout on Health: Sports Injuries(Item 502T, free).
Summertime is a great time to get active outside. Whether
you’re playing kickball with the kids or joining a rec
league, make sure you know how to treat and heal any bumps
or bruises that you or they get while having fun outdoors.
- Looking for the Best Mortgage: Shop, Compare, Negotiate
(Item 334T, $1.50). If you’re in the market to buy a house,
spend some time this summer learning how to save on a home
loan. When it comes time to move, you’ll be glad you got
the best deal.
- How to Maintain Your Tires(Item 595T, free). Inflating,
rotating and inspecting your tires will keep them in safe
condition and save you money on gas and repairs. Understand
