<div>Hi everyone, remember our meeting this month is the 22<font size="2"><span style="font-size:9.3pt;"><sup>nd</sup></span></font> at 11 a.m. in Room 1 of the Akron Main Library. And happy birthday this month to Charlie and Kathy! I believe both are turning
21.</div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div>Have you seen all the new tech on the main floor of the library? They’re also building an Accessible Zone along the far wall, which will include screen reading software, a closed circuit television and other accessible devices. We also got the library
working with the state library to become a sub-lending library for the Talking Book machine program, and the braille books we donated will be on the shelves…hopefully by Christmas. Lots of red tape to get that done but at least it’s underway.</div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
<div>There are also three downloadable library apps to read audio books, magazines, etc<font face="Calibri">.</font> We also of course have Newsline which we should all be on, and the BARD database, so find whatever app or service works best for you and dig
in to stay informed, educated and entertained<font face="Calibri">.</font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri" size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;"> </span></font></div>
