Senior Moments
On Monday & Tuesday, May 21 and 22 from 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm, the Library is offering a two day session that will provide hands-on computer training for seniors who have little or no experience with computers. You will practice: the basics of turning on and shutting down a computer, become familiar with the parts of a computer, maneuver a mouse, learn ways to save data, open, close, edit, and print documents. Registration is required.
New Library Collection
The library now has MP3 Books on CD. Why is this beneficial to you? You no longer have to change multiple disks while listening to a book - MP3s allow you to listen to an entire book on one or two CDs. To listen to the MP3 Books on CD, an MP3-compatible CD or DVD player is necessary. You can find the MP3 Books on CD on the New Books on CD display found near the Movie DVD collection.
