Introduction to Blogging, November 7
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.

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.
