June's Featured Library Service: Did you know that the Library has a fabulous collection of cookbooks full of ideas for family meals and special events all summer long? We have everything from barbecuing to salads to ice cream treats. Courtesy of Tim Sackton on www.flickr.com
Whether you are planning a picnic, a potluck or a wedding, the Library has great ideas.
Friends of the Library: Save the Date! Saturday, June 18 is the 3rd annual Strawberry Social. Please join us at St. Thomas Anglican Church from 24 pm for traditional Strawberry Shortcake, great music and friends. Tickets are avilable at the Library. $10 for adults, $5 for children. Also, keep an eye out for a new cookbook available soon. Strawberry Delights is a collection of strawberrybased recipes compiled by the Friends that will be available for purchase with all proceeds going to fund Library projects. Be sure to look for the Friends' Book Sales at the Farmer's Market Saturdays in June (weather permitting)
Tech Tips: Over the past year, we have noticed that there are several ways to login to the wireless in the Library, with a mobile device. After you connect to the signal, the login screen may come up automatically, or you may have to click on a search engine. On some devices, you may then have to enter a specific website before you see the prompt for the password of the day.
