Enjoy the New Year!

 

I am excited about the Jan. 9 meeting.  Pearl Diaz, a Pima County technology librarian will be presenting a program on all the online resources available through the Pima and Arizona library systems...and it's not just downloadable books.  You can get a library card with your rent receipt and mail addressed to you at Tucson.  For the program, bring your computer or device and your library card and Pearl will show you how to take advantage of the wealth of resources available.

Beautify the New Year...
Check out this website with lovely calendars to print for 2019.  You  will select the calendar, save each month as a picture in a file.  Then you can print it.  FYI, the Mission library at the corner of Ajo has a color printer which you can print the calendar for 10 cents a sheet.  There are some calendars that your grandkids will love as well pretty ones for general use.
