Smorgasbord Meeting

We covered three broad subjects. First Sandy and Karen demonstrated a new service at Lenawee County Library. Patrons can download audio books from the comfort of their homes and listen to them on their computers, or better still, MP3 players. There is a large selection of books and we learned all about how we can access it after signing up at the library. Take a look here to view the site that you can use after you sign up at the library.

Blogs are a hot development on the internet. They cover thousands of topics and some of the news blogs often scoop the formal news media. Pat Madziar gave us the rundown on blogs and how to access them, or even start our own blog. Click here to view the PowerPoint presentation that Pat gave on Blogs.
