October Art on parade at Freedom Public Library
If you missed the first three art shows at the library, you can still catch the last one. Tuesday, October 27, features the Freedom Writers Group of Florida Writers Association, and Creative Memories Scrapbookers.
Several of the Writers Group authors will have their books on display while others will be on hand to sign books and personally discuss their projects. Fill out a door prize ticket and drop it in the writer’s box. You could win one of their books.
Creative Memories Scrapbooker leader and library historian, Karen David, plans to display, among other things, the library’s Heritage Album history books which she organized and assembled. The project is in its third volume and growing.
Sponsored by the Friends of Freedom Public Library, admission is free to these Art at the Library exhibits and all are open to the public.
Heather’s Hi-Lites
Are you wondering what to do on Wednesdays? Here at the library, S.U.R.F.’s Up every Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. Children of all ages are welcome to join us for Super Ultimate Reading Fun. We are experimenting with all sorts of crafty combinations created from the materials you find in a library -- paper, crayons, yarn, tape, paste, and other sticky things. And, of course, books! We’ll show you what’s new and what we are reading right now. Come in and find out, just for the fun of it.
Our September adventure in sleuthing was so much fun that we’re doing it again. We are seeking detectives to join our top level team of secret agents in solving a mystery. Students in grades 4 thru 6 are invited to join us in cracking the code on Wednesday, November 4, at 3 p.m. Requirements: clear thinking, careful planning, dedication to truth, and an open mind. Secret resources will be revealed as we unravel the mystery.
Registration is not required; questions are welcome. Call David, Erin, or Heather at 438-2580 for the inside scoop.
Top secret information for parents: Students will learn to navigate the vast electronic resources available at your library. Ace detectives may become Homework Experts.
Book Club Selection
The Freedom Book Club that meets the second Friday (November 13) at 1 p.m. will discuss “Glass Castle” by Jeanette Walls. The meeting’s second half will be devoted to the continuing discussion of Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond. For information, contact Lee Staiger at leestaiger@embarqmail.com
Ask Arnold, the Computer Coach
Q: -- Some emails I receive contain pictures but sometimes a little red “x” appears in place of the picture. Why? Also, when forwarding emails that include pictures, I sometimes get a dialog box saying ‘No pictures can be included.’ But they were already included in the email I received, so why can’t I forward them?
A: -- The little red “x” means the picture is supposed to be there but couldn’t be found, so a place for the picture was saved even if the picture wasn’t. When writing web pages, a place on the page must be reserved for the picture, but then the picture file must also be included. If the original writer of the page forgets to do that, the page shows the space without the picture.
The “x” can also occur when the picture format is one you can neither open nor send because you don’t have the supporting software program.
Some pictures may be protected and cannot be forwarded. A lot depends on how the picture was inserted into the email.
