This Week at the Library: Geneology Sessions, Sign-Ups for Pre-School Storytimes

We welcome spring later this week... so I wasn't exactly hoping to have to cancel a program due to potential snow/sleet! But unfortunately, due to the snow and sleet potentially coming... and because we go by the East Penn School District as far as program cancellations, tonight's program for 4-6th grade is cancelled. We're still open until 9:00 tonight though, unless it gets ugly out! Stay tuned to our website or Facebook page for updates on that though!

Now for what’s going on at the library this week…

This week at the library:

Monday: Aliens program cancelled.

Tuesday: 4 year old storytimes, 10:30am and 12:30pm. Advanced registration is required for storytimes, as there’s a limit to how many kids I can fit into the program room, plus advanced registration helps me prepare for the right number of kids… not ending up “short” or wasting craft supplies when people don’t show, and there’s an age cutoff date of 9/12 based on the East Penn School District. Contact us if you’re interested in signing up.

Intro to the Web, 5-7pm. An introductory course on learning to navigate web pages, basic searches, downloading files, and printing. Advanced registration and a $5 class fee are required.

Wednesday: 3 year old storytimes, 10:30am and 12:30pm. Again, advanced registration is required for storytimes, for the same reasons as above.

Intro to Microsoft Word 2010; 11am-1pm. Learn the basic skills to understand and use Word, which is the word processing program that makes documents easier to create, share, and read. Advanced registration and a $5 class fee are required.

Thursday: 2 year old storytimes, 10:30am and 12:30pm. Again, advanced registration is required for storytimes.

Ancestry—Library Edition, Part 1 (Formerly the "Genealogy Basics" class). Learn genealogy basis while researching your family tree history using these international databases and other online resources. Advanced registration and a $5 class fee are required.

AARP Tax-Aide, 1pm-5pm. All appointments are currently booked. Tax-Aide reps said if you have a basic return, you can come in during the remaining Thursdays while they're here and see if they finish up early with another appointment and can fit you in. For taxpayers with low and moderate-income, with special attention to those age 60 and older.  For more information, call AARP at 1-888-227-7669.

Library Board of Directors Meeting; 5pm. The monthly meeting of the LML board is open to the public.

Saturday: Heritage Quest Workshop; 10am-12pm. This class will explore search techniques to access a unique genealogical database from home computers. It will include Census records, Revolutionary War records, Books and Periodical indexes of Local and Family Histories, post-Civil War African American Family records, and US House and Senate documents. Advanced registration and a $5 class fee are required.

This is a signup week for the preschool storytimes. So for parents attending that, please remember to look for the signup sheets while you're in this week. There will be an "off week" next week with no storytimes before starting the final cycle for this school year in April.
