Greetings!
Happy New Year! Many exciting programs are coming up soon, and I would like to highlight a few. Today from 4:00-6:30, meet Joanne Van Haaster-Kelly, whose works of digital photography on canvas and acrylic paintings are on exhibit in the Gallery. If you own a Kindle, join us on January 10 for a demonstration of how to download library books for free onto your Kindle (register online or call 986-1047, ext. 3). John Ruszkiewicz will present a program on the history of Pine Island, and finally, read on for two great programs for teens. There's something for everyone at the Library; don't let cold weather keep you away!
See you at the Library,
Rosemary Cooper
Library Director
