Time for Taxes (Again)

Published on January 16, 2024April 3, 2024 by notthatrebecca

Sigh, it’s that time of year again. Not just time for frigid weather but also time to get ready for filing your income taxes. Last week, the IRS announced that Monday, January 29^th officially opens this year’s tax season. Not as much fun as some announcements, but it is important for most of us. If you prepare your own income taxes, the library has long been one of the places that helps you find what you need. Here’s how we can help you get through this year:

Holiday Freebies

Published on December 19, 2023April 3, 2024 by notthatrebecca

Earlier this month, Cornelius checked out a book, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, and a movie, Miracle on 34^th Street (he’s very sentimental). He is very busy, getting cookies baked and the house decorated before Cora visits on Christmas Day. Cornelius is so busy that he hasn’t had time to read his book or watch his movie. He checks the due date on his library receipt: December 24^th!! Now he’s really stressed that his book and movie are due on Christmas Eve. He’s not sure he has time to return them but he really, really doesn’t want them to be late. What should he do?

Published on December 5, 2023April 3, 2024 by notthatrebecca

You’re just a few steps away from your first 3D print!

OK, maybe it is and maybe it’s not your first 3D print. But it will be your first print from the library!

Let’s face it, most of us don’t own a 3D printer. Some of us have used one, most of us have seen one or at least seen something made with a 3D printer. And most of us have wished we had access to one.

Well, now you do! We’ve opened up the library’s 3D printer to print your files into reality. The only cost is for the filament you use (pretty minimal). It’s a simple, 3-step process:
