FREE CONSUMER INFORMATION CATALOG
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 proper inspection techniques before that summer road trip.
  • Catch the Spirit: A Student’s Guide to Community Service (Item 501T, free). School’s out and kids want to keep busy and have fun. Help them learn simple ways to give back to their community this summer or all year long while doing things they already love.
  • National Trails System: Map and Guide (Item 111T, $3.00). Make time for an affordable adventure this summer by hiking some of the historic and scenic trails that crisscross our country.
