Computer classes for beginners are being offered again at the Victoria Avenue Library. These are geared mainly for adult beginners and class size is limited to 6 participants. The classes take place in our fully equipped Computer Training Lab and each participant will have their own work station. The cost is $10 (tax included) and payment must be made at registration. Currently the topics on offer are: Computer Basics & Windows; Word processing basics: Introduction to email; Introduction to Internet; Word processing 2; and Windows 2. Currently the two hour sessions are scheduled for Monday or Tuesday evenings. Please check the website for more details or call the library for registration information.

The Big Screen Tuesday feature next week, January 26th, is based on the Maurice Sendak children’s classic; Where the Wild Things are. Max, a rambunctious yet sensitive little boy is sent to bed without his supper, and creates his own world-a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler. He promises to create a place where everyone will be happy, but soon finds it is not so easy. The presentation begins at 7pm in the LaMarsh Room and stars Forest Whitaker, Catherine Keener, and Paul Dano as Max. Director Spike Jonze has created a thoughtful adaptation for the big screen. The film is rated PG.

Got the January blahs?
Thursday January 28th, Family Story time returns with the monthly theme based presentation of stories and fun for the entire family. Snowy Blowy Story time begins at 6:30pm, for an hour at the Victoria Avenue Library. It’s a program that all ages can interact and take part in together. A small craft activity is included. We ask you to register in advance. For a toony, the whole family may join in. This is one of the ways the public library promotes family literacy.

We love snow…
