Getting to Know Your Smartphone on April 17

During this hands-on workshop at the Morningside Branch Library, we'll explore some of the common features of smartphones. You'll learn ways to interact with the touch screen, how to access important controls, and how to search for specific settings. We'll also cover some tips and best practices for securing and maintaining your device. This talk is presented by Connections Area Agency on Aging and Senior Planet Partner Resources.

Happy National Library Week! (April 6 – 12)

National Library Week is a time to celebrate libraries, the contributions of library workers, and to promote library use and support. The theme for National Library Week 2025 is “Drawn to the Library." During this week take time to discover (or re-discover) what draws people into the library! Visit the library and bring your friends or family along. Encourage a friend to get a library card—it’s a simple act that opens up a world of opportunity. Browse the shelves, join a book club, or attend a storytime. Libraries connect us to ideas, information, and each other—and they’re built for everyone.
