Calling all Warriors fans! Join us Wednesday, March 13^th at 2:00 PM in the Moeschle Room for a pawsome program all about the cats and their clans! We'll be doing a reading from the series and will also create our own feline Warrior character and make a paper bag puppet of it!  Don’t miss out on all the wonderful Warrior fun!

This program is based off of the Warriors series of books by Erin Hunter. The popular books are about several “clans” of warrior cats who battle and have adventures.  For more info on the series check out their official website: http://www.warriorcats.com/warriorshell.html

WANTED: Computer Instructors & Volunteers!

If you love computers and helping people, we need your help! We have a variety of computer classes to offer and need help teaching them!

Class schedules are flexible- we can accommodate you whether you're available in the morning, afternoon or evening. We even have complete lesson plans if you prefer to just follow them or you can make your own. No teaching experience necessary- you just need to know whichever computer program you're teaching. If there's a program you really enjoy and we don't offer a class for it- you can start one- the possibilities are endless!

Also, we would also love to be able to offer some computer classes in Spanish so if you speak Spanish fluently- come see us!

Teaching computer classes gives you valuable experience to add to your resume. From college students to retirees, this is a great opportunity to give back to the community. If you're interested in volunteering in the computer lab, please call Mr. Kim Cox at 903-237-1353.
