The New Laptops are Here!!


The library has acquired 3 new laptop computers purchased by the Friends of the Library. Two are on carts and can be checked out for two hours with a library card and a driver's license. They are wireless and can be used anywhere in the library. The third laptop is in our new Business Resource area. That computer is reserved for people needing to do job searches, resumes, filing for unemployment or business start up searching. For now there is no sign up for that computer - just use on a first come- first served basis. People are able to use this computer for 2 hours also. Our computers are a very popular resource here at the library so we are glad we can offer more computers for people to use, especially during busy times.
THANKS TO THE FRIENDS!!!!

Good programs coming in April!!

The library will be hosting 2 good programs in April - we'll do some more advertising later but wanted to let you all know now so you can get them on your calendars. On April 16 Rob Hardy, local writer and poet, will present a program called " Finding Jane: a tour of some English Literary Places". Come see some slides of England and hear about Jane Austen. It should be very interesting.
On April 23rd, Phyllis Onstad, from the U of M Extension Service will present a program called "Riding out the Current Financial Storm". She will provide key strategies and tools to prepare for times when money is tight, you lose your job, or have suddenly reduced income. The program is geared toward younger workers but will be of interest to all ages.

Both programs will begin at 7 P.M. and will be held in the library meeting room. For more information call the library at 645-6606.
