Morningstar 

In case you missed this announcement, Morningstar, Inc. will cease print publication of the Morningstar Mutual Funds later this year. Instead we will have online access to their Morningstar InvestmentResearch Center.

 

We have trial access to this resource until the end of June, click here to give it a whirl. The username is 'wadleigh' and the password is 'library'.

 

For virtually the same price as the print we can get augmented and comprehensive financial information on stocks, mutual funds, exchange traded funds and financial markets. Use the tutorial center to walk through Morningstar InvestmentResearch Center, one step at a time. Our trial runs through the end of June.

Antoine St. Exupery: The Man Who Wrote The Little Prince
Wednesday, June 27, 7 - 8:30 p.m.
Keyes Meeting Room
 

The LIttle Prince

Presenter: Scott Eaton. The life of French aviator and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900-1944) will be examined through his books and the ideas which underlie them. Along with The Little Prince (1943), a children's story for adults, the program will review his other fiction and nonfiction, which were inspired in large part by his experience in the early French air mail service in the 20's and 30's and in the French air force in World War II. Copies of Wind, Sand and Stars and The Little Prince will be available for checkout at the Library. This program is generously funded by the NH Humanities Council.
