T.B. Scott Free Library is here for you as summer turns to fall.

'Winter' hours return

The library's "winter" hours are back. The library is open 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays, and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Sundays continue to be popular with students, Internet users on hardwired computers and the wireless network, and visitors to our historic building.

Words Worth Hearing returns

Sundays are also popular for library programming; in particular, the Words Worth Hearing series for adults. While the Game On! Classic Garden Party and A September Tea, a celebration of Northern Wisconsin authors, are past, it's not too late to add these programs to your calendar:

? Sunday, Oct. 13, from 1 to 3 p.m., Wisconsin's Poet Laureate Max Garland of Eau Claire visits. Garland will read from his poetry, discuss the poet's craft and share the life of a Wisconsin poet laureate. Afterwards, Garland will have his poetry collections available for sale and signing.

? Sunday, Dec. 8, from 1:30 to 3 p.m., Susan Van Sleet of Antigo shares her story, captured in her first book, "Mary & Me Beyond the Canvas: An Extraordinary Story of Adoption, Loss, and Reunion." Van Sleet is an artist, reunited birth mother and writer who survived the heartbreak of placing her daughter through closed adoption during an era of "silent surrender." She guides and inspires birth mothers as a motivational presenter at adoption conferences and by contributing to adoption newsletters, blogs and websites. Copies of her book will be available for sale and signing.

T.B. Scott Free Library also is planning a fall program to help the public better understand the Affordable Care Act, for which enrollment begins on Oct. 1. The library, as are public libraries nationwide, is working with other agencies to prepare to serve as an ACA "mobilizer," dispensing information, answering basic questions and serving citizens who will benefit from our wired and wireless Internet access. Stay tuned for details.

Computer and e-book coaching

The library continues to offer folks low-stress help with high-tech.

E-book coaching sessions are scheduled at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. on two Thursdays each month. The next sessions are on Oct. 3 and 10 and Nov. 7 and 14. You can also call the library to make a coaching appointment. Bring your e-reading device with you.

Computer coaching sessions for general computer questions are held one week each month at 10 a.m. Tuesdays, 6 p.m. Wednesdays and 1 p.m. Thursdays. The next sessions are Oct. 1 to 3, Nov. 5 to 7 and Dec. 10 to 12. If you have a laptop, bring it with you.
