Do you have something to say? Then you need to be Blogging!
What is a blog? A blog is basically a website that is updated frequently with new content (like the blog you're reading now!). The best part, though, is that you don’t have to know how to make websites. It’s as easy as sending email.
Blogging has become one of the most popular uses of the internet. Companies use them to provide fresh information to their customers. Individuals use them to keep their friends and families updated. People also use them to express their views on politics, sports, their hobbies, writing, and more. Anything you can talk about, you can blog about!
Join us at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, November 7 to learn how to get and use a free blog on the largest blog host, www.Blogger.com.
This program is free and open to the public, but we ask that you register by stopping by or calling the Adult Information Desk at 908-369-220 ext 13.

Book Discussion, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, November 8
Please join us for a discussion of Mark Haddon's award-winning first novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.
Told from the perspective of Christopher Boone, a 15-year-old autistic savant, Haddon takes us inside Christopher's mind, a mind unable to grasp even the most basic of emotions. When his neighbor's poodle is killed and Christopher is falsely accused of the crime, he decides that he will track down the killer himself. As the mystery leads him to the secrets of his parents' broken marriage and then into an odyssey to find his place in the world, he must fall back on deductive logic to navigate the emotional complexities of a social world that remains a closed book to him.
The book discussion is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Sign up at the Adult Information Desk or call 908-369-2200 ext. 13.
Where: Hillsborough Library Conference Room
When: Thursday, November 8, at 7:00PM
