The Computer Users Group is on hiatus until September. The library would like to thank Dorene Stalter for sharing her time and expertise with us.
Also, the library received a Kill A Watt EZ power meter, from AmerenIP, for patrons to check out and use. With the price of utilities on the rise, it pays to know where your money is going and what you can do about it. With this device, patrons can measure how much electricity it will take to operate a variety of household appliances. It will also help calculate the actual and projected cost of the electricity used. There are easy to use instructions and pamphlets also available.
