Now is a great time to take a class through Universal Class! Universal Class is an online learning platform that allows you to take courses at your own pace while you interact with a live instructor via email. Sign up with your library card to access over 500 online courses. Topics range from Writing Skills to Career Training to Crafts & Hobbies. (These are non-credit courses and are provided for your personal enrichment.) Chase away those winter blues with a new skill or hobby!
Due to the storm, writer’s workshop will be postponed until Thursday, February 20th at 6pm!
Books on Tap will meet tonight at 6:30 PM at Village Pizza in Newport to discuss the book Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel.
Next time you’re in the library, take a look at our Library of Things (located next to the non-fiction DVDs). The collection is expanding all the time. You never know what you might find in there that you didn’t know you needed to use! The list at this time includes:
Film to digital converter
Trail camera
Draft detector
Energy meter
Snowshoes
Fly fishing rods
Cake pans
Telescope
Flip scanner
Board games such as Trivial Pursuit and Scattegories
Yarn swift and ball winder
Self Serve Interlibrary Loan is now available at the library! This will allow you to search for books we don’t have and request that they be sent here to Richards Library. You can access the site here, login with your library card number and library password, and start searching! The link can also be found on our home page under “find online”.
The stop-motion video workshop and monster craft this afternoon has been cancelled due to staff illness. We apologize for the inconvenience! If you were really looking forward to this program, let us know and we will try to schedule something similar soon!
For those of you that read this month’s selection, Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen by Sarah Bird, hope to see you at tonight’s discussion at the Salt Hill Pub in Newport, 6:30 PM!
