You can attend one session or all four. For more information call 883-1974.
Looking for more how-to classes? At their recent meeting, it was great to hear members of the National Association of Retired Federal Employees rave about how easy it was to master the free computer courses they have taken at the Library’s Edge Community Technology Center. One retiree said he liked the ability to rerun the instructional videos several times until he “got” it. Another one appreciated the knowledgeable staff who ran the instructor-led sessions.
If you want to work on your computer skills, feel free to call the Edge at 417-837-5011 to sign up for one-on-one help or any of the instructor-led or self-guided tutorials. The Edge is in the Midtown Carnegie Branch. Edge Mobile sessions are also offered at multiple library branches.

Our decluttering, get-organized books are flying off the shelves. If you’re cleaning out excess books, audiobooks, DVDs and CDs, you can box or bag them up and donate them at any Springfield-Greene County Library branch during business hours. The Friends of the Library will happily accept them to sell at the Spring Book Sale April 29-May 3 at the E*Plex of the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds.
