With the Microsoft Office 2013 version rolled out, we’re offering you a chance to learn some cool computer skills and tricks (and in an air-conditioned room!).  Mr. Kenneth* will make everything look easy, and you won’t sweat one bit!

All sessions are scheduled for Thursdays from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm.

Now that “the spring has sprung,” you may want to spend more time outdoors (well, maybe after the city’s trees’ pollen production has subsided).  If so, why not plan one of your walks or trips to the park around a visit to the library? Whether you want to introduce your “little ones” to the wonderful realm of books, or whether they already love reading (or being read to), an escapade to one of our library’s storytimes may be quite an adventure!  Last week, Mrs. Donna talked about seeds and gardening, and this week, she will try to introduce you to her favorite pirates, and she promises they won’t be (too) scary.  Plus, she always shares with you some of her other beloved books.

So don’t dilly-dally!  We have the perfect times for you—after-breakfast and right-before-lunch: 

Did you know that library computers have received an upgrade and now run the 2013 version of Microsoft Office?  In March, you’ll have a chance to familiarize yourself with its most frequently used component, Microsoft Word, right here at Spring Branch-Memorial Library.  In addition, we’re offering a class on one of the most popular social media, Facebook, and one on computer basics.

All sessions are scheduled from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm.
