Happy 2012 from Your Library!

In which a bestselling author speaks, a baker teaches us how to be gluten free, eReaders are explained, and Alfred Hitchcock's classic films give us the shivers!

Did you know we’ve got our display area across from the circulation desk decked out with books and DVDs to help you start the new year right? Come browse our wide selection of titles on healthy eating & cooking, exercise & fitness, meditation, de-cluttering, and just generally enjoying life more. There’s lots more on display!

Were you the lucky recipient of an eReader this holiday season? On January 7 and 27, Reference Librarian Diana Parker will be holding an eBook Clinic to help you set up your new Kindle, Nook or other device and get comfortable downloading and reading eBooks.  No need to register, just drop in any time from 9:30 a.m. to noon on either day. First come, first served.

Every Wednesday in January we’re showing a different Alfred Hitchcock classic. Join us at 1 p.m.  and chase the winter blahs away with some cinematic thrills! Popcorn and the movie are free.
