Knowing how to use a computer has become a real part of everyday living. You may start your day reading your favorite newspapers and magazines online, sending email to family and friends or just having fun playing computer games. If computers are more of a mystery than a friend to you, then take one of the Library’s computer classes for beginners. Start with Beginning Computers. Learn the proper way to turn a computer on and off. Develop better mouse skills. Learn how and where to save files. Beginner classes go at a slower pace so there is time to become more familiar with your new skills. Register today by calling 734-327-4555, registering in person at any AADL location or registering online.

University of Michigan Health Sciences Library

To some the internet is a big, scary world all unto itself. Who are those people out there? Are the facts presented on the Internet correct? What should I believe and not believe? In one area help is here.

Librarians from the University of Michigan Taubman Health Sciences, the former Taubman Medical Library, will present user-friendly methods of finding quality online information about diseases, drugs, and therapies.

They have set aside two times to present this information on October 1. The first time will be at 1:00 pm at the Traverwood Branch Library. Later in the evening on October 1, the Michigan Health Sciences librarians will be at the Downtown Library at 7:00 pm in the Training Center on the third floor.

If health issues regarding diseases, drugs, or therapies are of a concern to you, don’t miss either one of these sessions.

Register online through the Ann Arbor District Library, come to any branch of the library, or call 734.327.4560 during library hours and don’t miss knowing the reliable facts regarding health issues.
