$7 to help purchase a new children's early literacy station

The first night class for free Basic Computer Literacy will begin on Thursday, March 22^nd from 5pm – 7pm and end on Thursday, March 29^th from 5pm – 7pm. You do NOT need to have any experience on a computer to take this class. If you missed this class earlier, now is your opportunity to attend.

The library will also offer a free Introduction to Facebook on Saturday March 31^st from 10am – noon. This class will cover the basics of using Facebook and you MUST have some basic knowledge of and experience using a computer. You MUST already have an email account and know how to use it to take the Introduction to Facebook class. These classes are made available FREE to the public through a Capital One Grant.

The library received an Early Literacy Station Computer for the children’s room through a grant. This unit is used extensively by children and families and is very helpful for those with learning disabilities as well. We would love to add another unit. The cost of a similar learning unit would be $700. This amount does not seem like so much if 100 people could each donate $7. If you would like to donate to this project, please contact the library.

Spring: A Time of Rebirth

Ahh, spring break and the weather has been beautiful. Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and broadly to ideas of rebirth, renewal and regrowth. New plant growth ‘springs forth’ giving the season its name. The early flowers are blooming, the trees are budding out, snow is melting up north causing streams and rivers to swell with runoff. Spring officially begins Sunday. What ‘springs forth’ within you during this change of season?

The library is currently raising funds to help automate the entrance doors. If you would like to donate, please contact the library at 903-856-3302.
