Other Fun Things for You

Did you know that we offer individual computer classes for you and your parents? Give us a call to find out more about them. And if you need braille or talking books and you aren't yet registered for service, you can get an application here.

All Children Have Different Eyes is a website for kids with low vision.

Do you enjoy going to the American Museum of Natural History? Every other month, the library gets vouchers for free admittance to the museum. Included with the vouchers is a free space show, imax movie, or to a special exhibit. Contact the library to get these vouchers.
