Kelly is one of Bracebridge Public Library's pages. Library pages shelve, shift, and shelf read books and other library materials. Shelf reading ensures that books are where they are supposed to be when people look for them. Thanks Kelly!

Tech Tips There has been a lot of buzz recently about privacy for social media accounts. Privacy and permissions for websites and apps usually offer a variety of options to make your account more or less visible depending on your needs. Determining what your needs are for an account is the first step to finding the right privacy settings for you. To change the privacy or permissions of a website or app, look under your profile for "Settings". Once you open the privacy tab in your settings you can customize your account. Consider what you use your account for. If you are using your account for personal reasons the privacy settings will be different than if you were using it for work or business. If you have any questions about changing your settings for a specific account you can ask one of our Information and Digital Services Librarians on the second floor of the Library .
