Celebrate National Library Week at DBRL
April 8, 2010
National Library Week is an annual celebration of the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians. This year's theme is “Communities Thrive @ Your Library.” Please help us celebrate during the week of April 11-17 by trying something new at DBRL. Explore Byki, a language learning service that is one of the most recent additions to our online reference tools. Bring your laptop to the library nearest you and enjoy the free wireless Internet access. Check out materials in a format that is new to you, such as a Playaway or a downloadable audiobook. Or, learn a new skill by taking advantage of the self-guided computer tutorials in Columbia and Fulton and coming soon to Ashland.
