Did you know that with a free Gmail account, you also have access to a Google Suite of tools that includes Google Docs? Google Docs is a free tool similar to Microsoft Word that allows you type documents and even work on a document collaboratively with someone else. You must have a Gmail account created prior to the first class.

In this series of classes, we will cover creating and sharing documents, giving feedback on documents, using the toolbar, making lists, inserting tables and images, changing margins, using keyboard shortcuts, and finalizing documents.

This class takes place every Friday from March 1-May 10. Sign up for all of the sessions, or pick the dates that work for you and join us at the BPL Tech Express, 330 Park Ave., Room 117. Different skills will be taught at each session. Limited space available.

Our book club title for Women’s History Month will be Somebody’s Daughter by Ashley C. Ford. This memoir steps into the world of growing up a poor Black girl in Indiana with a family fragmented by incarceration, exploring how isolating and complex such a childhood can be. As Ashley battles her body and her environment, she embarks on a powerful journey to find the threads between who she is and what she was born into, and the complicated familial love that often binds them. Pick up a copy at the library, listen on Hoopla, or read on Libby.

In partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts’ and ECSU’s Big Read, we offer a book discussion of Circe by Madeline Miller, a bold retelling of the Greek goddess's story that reimagines the life of Circe, formidable sorceress of The Odyssey. Soon after Circe is born to the gods, she discovers that she possesses the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus, Icarus, Medea, and, of course, Odysseus.

Circe is a triumph of storytelling, an epic of family rivalry, palace intrigue, love and loss, as well as a celebration of indomitable female strength in a man's world. Copies of the book are available at the Atrium and are yours to keep after registering for the discussion.
