Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.
I'm always a little sad this time of year, the cold, dreary winter months seem to drag on...One thing I do look forward to this time of year is helping everyone set up their new Kindles and tablets for e-reading!
Electronics and E-readers are popular gifts. After all the excitement of the holidays dies down, some people are left feeling overwhelmed setting up these new devices. Have no fear! We can help with that! Part of my job is holding appointment sessions to introduce you to our E-Library Services: Libby and Hoopla.
I know. You're going to say, "Manni, but I love physical books!" I know, me too! However, e-reading and our e-library open up your world to more choices, convenient options, and space-saving solutions.
I can show you how to make any book a large-print book, how to listen to audiobooks without having to swap CDs, and how to read multiple books and magazines on vacation without having to lug around library books in your carry-on.
Please call or visit me at the library, and don't forget to bring your device and library card. I'll show you how to download the required apps, sign in with your library card, and give a quick tutorial on how to use the platforms.
My Winter TBR is coming along. Middle Grade is so satisfying. I just finished Echo " by Pam Muñoz Ryan. It's about a magic harmonica that embarks on an adventure during World War II. This winter, I'm also binge-watching Ken Burns Documentaries. I finished The Revolutionary War and now I'm on to Baseball. I love documentaries. What I can't access on streaming platforms, I get through the library!
Here's hoping 2026 is a good year! I'm excited for the year to unfold!
