Come in and see our new computer desks graciously donated by the Perillo family and put together by Barb Hamil and Bob McBrien.  Our computer center has expanded to four computers and provides access to the intenet and the Four County Library System for borrowing books and utilizing many resources.

We also have several programs this week for both children and adults, it’s not to late to register, come in or call the library and ask to register for the program you want to attend.  For the children, we have art programs this week.  Wednesday at 1:00 children are invited to come and learn the basics of drawing.  Morgan Ackerly will be providing instruction to the children and then allowing them to practice what they learn.  Thursday, Teens are invited to come and learn the basics of drawing Manga characters with Morgan from 6:00-8:00 pm.  Friday, from 10:00 to 12:00, children can come and take lessons from Morgan to learn the basics of drawing comic characters.

On Saturday,  from 2:00 -4:00, we have local photographer Bill Ryall sharing information on taking better photographs with his lecture Photography for all Season: Getting Beyond the Snapshot.  It is sure to be very informative.
