In Appreciation: Veterans |
|
No matter which branch of the Armed Forces, what part of the world, home or abroad, or in which conflict or war you have served, we thank all Veterans for your service. I learned last November that Congress changed the law to include more veterans in eligibility for certain services, and also that any U.S. ARMED FORCES VETERAN that served Honorably on Active Duty starting with December 7, 1941 and going forward, is now eligible to join the American Legion.
Warner is host to the Wilkins-Cloues-Bigelow-Pearson American Legion Post 39. Click "Contact" at the top of their website www.post39warnernh.org/ to join or ask more questions. Or you can often find Adjutant Paul Violette at the N.H. Telephone Museum.
(The NH Telephone Museum is open Tuesdays AND Saturdays 10 am-4 pm for the months of November and December.)
The Legion Post's goal is "to serve Veterans, their families, and the Towns in the area covered". In some cases this may simply consist of conversation and an understanding of what you have experienced or are experiencing. Members can also help connect other veterans with any available medical or financial assistance.

Tech Tip: No Windows Libby App!
|
News from OverDrive, the provider of New Hampshire Downloadable Books: they will discontinue support for the Libby app for Windows (but not for iOS or android).
Windows device users will still be able to use Libby features on their device by going to libbyapp.com. This site offers the same features as the app-store version of Libby, except the ability to download books for offline use. To access this functionality, users can download Libby for iOS or Android on a compatible device (iPhone, iPad, android smartphone or tablet, etc).
|
|
The Libby app will be removed from the Windows App Store the week of Dec. 7, 2020 to prevent any new users from installing the app.
OverDrive will provide in-app messaging to help impacted users with this transition. When users transition to the browser version, OverDrive will preserve as much of the reading data as possible, including saved libraries, library cards, and active loans and holds. Tags and historical timeline activity will not carry over to the browser.
If you are not using a Windows device to listen to or read digital books or magazines, this will not affect you.

Miss Sue's News (for Kids) |
This is our shelf full of audio CD's for you to borrow, great listening for your child! Many children love to listen to them while they are falling asleep.
Don't have time or energy to read to your child at night (hopefully not often)? The library has CD's, Audio's and Book/CD combinations. Here's a shelf of at least 50 books with a CD inside, so you have 3 options: read it to or with your child, have them listen to it, or have them listen and follow along.
