Attention Class of 2013!! We all know finances are very tight when considering college and university. The County of Peterborough has two bursaries available for qualifying applicants. You can pick up an application for either of these two bursaries at the Norwood Branch:
The 4-H Agricultural Scholarship Bursary assists students residing in the County of Peterborough with their post-secondary education in an agricultural-related field.
The Land of Shining Waters Bursary is also available to students in need in the County of Peterborough.
Check out an e-book from OverDrive during the month of April and you could help the library win an ipad! The Southern Ontario Library Service is giving away free ipads to the libraries who circulate the most e-books during this month!
Have you checked out the online resources of TumbleBooks? Many preschoolers have enjoyed the TumbleBookLibrary, but did you also know there are other TumbleBook resources for older readers? Check out AudioBookCloud for online listening for all ages, TumbleBookCloud for middle and high school readers and TumbleBookCloud Junior for elementary readers.
Looking for something good to read on your e-reader, or listen to on your iphone? Check out OverDrive today. New content and more copies of popular books make this resource a great compliment to our wonderful collection in the library.
Want to learn how to use OverDrive? Or how to transfer your book to your device? Call the library at 705 639-2228 and ask your question, send us an email with your problem, or set up a time to come in for a tutorial. We are always happy to assist!
Learn-to is a short lesson on something people either aren’t sure how to do, or may have forgotten how to do. We are looking for ideas for the future, so if you would like to learn something, let us know. And if you have a skill that you or someone you know could teach in an hour to an hour and a half, please contact us.
The next Learn-To event will be learning to Walk with Nordic Poles. Drop in at the Westwood Branch on Saturday May 11th at 10:00am to have some fun and get some exercise too!
