Snow Day Again

Yet another snow day. The library and computer center will be closed March 3rd. We hope you have some good books at home.

This would also be a good day to explore our digital library: learn a new language, investigate the OED, watch animated picture books, listen to a good audiobook, read Eyewitness books for kids, look at Britannica in Japanese, find pictures in Image Quest, practice Smart Math, study for the law school exam.
