DEAR SUN SPOTS: Regarding the recent letters on watching “Downton Abbey” online or DVD, all three seasons are available and can be ordered from any library in Maine (by people with a library card) that participates in the Minerva system (minerva.maine.edu). Cost is $1 and rental time is one week. The link is http://tinyurl.com/akf4quz. — Pete via email

ANSWER: Pete is right. “Downton” is available from Minerva, a system Sun Spots highly recommends. Readers with computers can reserve books, audiobooks and DVDs and CDs from the comfort of their own home. Even if your library is not computerized for Minerva, you may be able to reserve the “Downton” DVDs. Ask your librarian.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am wondering where I can purchase the Chinese Horoscope for 2013, the Year of the Snake.

Enclosed is a photocopy of what it should look like. Red in color.

I haven’t been able to find one for several years, and you are good at helping people. Thank you. — No Name, Raymond

ANSWER: Sun Spots does not feel very good about her answer to your question. 

There are numerous free sources for the horoscope online, but Sun Spots feels sure that is not what you are after.

At Amazon.com, they sell books that look much like what you sent, but the books are yellow, not red. You can call Amazon for free at 800-201-7575 and find out if that’s what you have in mind.

Or you could go to the nearest local bookstore and ask them to order it for you. Even if a book is not on the shelf, bookstores can still get it for you and are very happy to do so.

Finally, perhaps readers or local bookstores will write in with suggestions.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Would you be able to print the words to the song “Where You Are” by Josh Groban? I do not have a computer. You have helped me out before with words to a song. Thank you. — No Name, Jay

ANSWER: Sun Spots found the lyrics to “To Where You Are” at azlyrics.com:

Who can say for certain

Maybe you’re still here

I feel you all around me

Your memory’s so clear

Deep in the stillness

I can hear you speak

You’re still an inspiration

Can it be

That you are mine

Forever love

And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile to know you’re there

A breath away’s not far

To where you are

Are you gently sleeping

Here inside my dream

And isn’t faith believing

All power can’t be seen

As my heart holds you

Just one beat away

I cherish all you gave me everyday

‘Cause you are my

Forever love

Watching me from up above

And I believe

That angels breathe

And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up

To where you are

Beyond the distant star

I wish upon tonight

To see you smile

If only for awhile

To know you’re there

A breath away’s not far

To where you are

I know you’re there

A breath away’s not far

To where you are
