It s available to surf the internet, set up an e-mail account or Skype with out of town friends and family. Please see an activities staff member if you would like assistance using the new computer. FROM THE LIBRARY Have you been down to visit our library lately? There have been some significant changes in both content and availability of books. First, we need more shelf space in the face of new books being added to our collection, Therefore, books on both the FICTION and the MYSTERY categories have been pulled to remove those titles of little or no recent use. At the same time, note that the MYSTERY titles have expanded to an additional shelf above the fireplace. Second, the OVERSIZED books, formerly over the fireplace, were bending their shelf and so have been scattered on the uppermost shelves over each stack of regular print bookshelves. They are sorted approximately according to the subjects beneath, but their individual titles can easily be identified. Never hesitate to ask anyone around to reach one for you! Do drop in and re-discover your cozy library with its everexpanding inventory for your reading pleasure!
