Seahorses at Afternoon Art

      Children -  Don't forget to come for  Afternoon Art on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, at 4:00 pm. The art project this month is "Seahorses", one of my favorite sea creatures. I was actually considered a seahorse when I was younger. The name of my childhood swim team was the Seahorses.  They are very fast swimmers. Read all about them at the library. No registration is necessary for Afternoon Art and all supplies are provided.

Do you know how to ... e-book?

         If you missed the e-Book class in March, then have no fear. There is a class scheduled for  Saturday, April 6, 2013, at 1:00 pm. Do not hesitate to register. It may fill up fast. The library has so much to offer in the electronic arena, so come in and learn about what kinds of devices are out there and how to download a book, audio book, music and movies for free from the HCPL catalog.  

Afternoon Art – Decorating Decoupage Eggs

   School-aged children are invited to come and decorate decoupage eggs for Afternoon Art, meeting on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, at 4:30 pm.  All supplies are provided, but if you want to be more creative bring some of your own ideas. No registration is necessary. Come, bring your friends and classmates for some fun time together to help kick off the spring season.

Steps For Starting Your Own Business

  Have you ever thought about starting your own business but weren’t sure where to start? Sometimes reading a book about it helps, while other times taking a class can be better. SCORE(a volunteer group that offers business counseling to small business owners) is conducting a class on the things you might need to know for starting your own business, from  choosing the actual business to the financial organization involved in running it.

 Pre-registration is required for the Saturday afternoon class, March 9, 2013, starting at 2 pm and ending at 4 pm. Come with all your questions and find the answers you may need.

Seek and ye shall find...

Have you been looking for a book and not been able to find it in our HCPL catalog? Was it published at least 6 months ago? Maybe we can help you find it through our Interlibrary Loan system.  Books can be ordered from lending libraries from all over the country. Some lending libraries have books that are out of print and old editions that are hard to find. If this interests you click on the above link and read all about it. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call us. We are ready to serve you.

Come One, Come All...

 Is your New Year off to a good start? Did you get an e-reader for Christmas?  Have you been cleaning out the house and now you are trying to get rid of some books? If so, donate them to the library for the upcoming book sale being held this Saturday, January 12, 2013. 

OR, if you still love how a book feels in your hands, come to the book sale and buy as many as you can carry. There has been a change in some of the pricing so don’t be surprised if things are a little more valuable than they used to be.  However, you will still find some great bargains. There are books, magazines, audiobooks, videos and DVD's. All proceeds go to help fund library activities and programs here at the Maud Marks Library. So, come one come all...Saturday, January 12, 2013, from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm.
