Dear Library Member,

New Jersey photographer, author and lecturer, Walter Choroszewski, will give an informative and fun presentation in lighting, photo composition, depth of field, shutter speed and more on Thursday, September 24 at 7 pm.  Photo Tips for Better Pics will be invaluable for both novice and expert photographers!  No registration required.

MaKey MaKey for Beginners for ages 9-12 takes place on Sunday, September 27 at 2 pm.  MaKey MaKey is the latest technology in maker culture!  Ever played Mario on Play-Doh or piano on bananas?  In this hands-on class you will learn how to put together the MaKey MaKey to play online games, discover what tools and resources you can use to play instruments with the Makey Makey and much more!   Register and join the fun!
