Hey ..Remember us ?

Hey guys whats up? did somebody have a good Holidays? I know I did lol. Well your friendly neighborhood library is open and back in action ready for all to use.

So you say you got a new laptop for Christmas, well hey did you know we give free lessons on the basics? We totally do just come on down to the library or call to set up an appointment and we'll have you learning in no time.

Keep it classy Wetaskiwin.

Happy Holidays...ps we're closed

Hey everybody this is just a little reminder that the library will be closed starting tomorrow Thursday the 23rd till Tuesday the 28th.
We here at the library would like to wish you all a very Happy Holiday's and a safe New Years.

Also we are starting to get the ball rolling on a Language Coffeehouse that will be on February 26, 2011 from 2 till 3pm. This is shaping up to be an event for all ages and will most definitely be free.

As always keep it classy Wetaskiwin

This free Cybercamp session is a tutorial that will show the student how to find the resources online to teach themselves how to play the guitar, bass guitar, and other instruments. Students may bring their own guitars.

Saturday, January 15, 2011 from 2:00 - 3:30 pm in the library program room.

For more information please contact John @780-361-4446.

Basically using the Internet to help teach yourself some basic skills and finding out how to read tabs and sheet music online. Also hopefully a little jam session to get kids (or adults) into music and excited to learn.

'Cause that zero is too cold for me, BRRR

Man its cold outside, cold, snowy and miserable ...but guess what its nice and warm here at the library, plus kinda cozy and full of books and goodies just waiting for you to discover.
I recently finished organizing my schedule for computer lessons and wouldn't ya know, there is a space for you to come on down and learn some basic skills. Maybe you wanna get an email address and send some Christmas cheer quicker than the post office (I'm not knocking the post office they are still pretty awesome ), or just learn how to turn that fancy box on and find out about all the great tools and experiences you can have on the computer.
If this stuff is sounding like your cup of tea please give us a call at the library (780 361 4446) to set up an appointment today.

And as always stay classy Wetaskiwin and have a happy holidays.

Ps. If this weather is keeping you down, use your computer at home or come by and Google Billy Preston (the fifth beetle). His music should be just the cure for the snowy day blues.

Helping out some of my favourite patrons Pat & Jerry.

Just helpin' Flo get better acquainted with her equipment.
