| SPOTLIGHT
ON THE LIBRARY |
|
MARCH 10, 2006
Claudia (Lady Bird) Johnson once stated, "Perhaps no place in any
community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance
requirement is interest." Mrs. Johnson could not be more correct. The
David A. Howe Public Library stands as a meeting place for all
community members. It is an institution that allows all residents
to learn about and discuss their issues and opinions in a safe and
non-threatening environment.
Your public library is a place of freedom. It is a place where ideas
are born and character is revealed. Your public library is the mirror of
your community, but most importantly, your public library is yours.
The library will be hosting a computer class on Monday, March 13 at 7
pm that will teach patrons how to find files on their desktop and other
content storage areas. The class is one hour long and requires patrons to
register before attending. Please call the library for more details.
The Investment Club, which is a non-library sponsored organization,
will be meeting in the library’s Local History Room on Thursday, March 16
at 6 pm. This organization is currently accepting new members for 2006.
The Investment Club is a group of local residents that meet once a month
to discuss and invest personal finances. If you are interested in
participating in this established organization, please visit the library
for March’s meeting.
Another computer class will be held on March 20 at 7 pm in the
library’s Monday Club Room. This class will teach patrons how to insert
photos and graphics into text documents. Registration is required for this
class.
