Dear Library Member,
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support. Do your part this week and spread the word to your friends and family about the awesome resources and services your library provides!
Come to the Library on Sunday, April 17 at 1 pm and enjoy the Hudson Shakespeare Company's production of John Cariani's hit play Almost, Maine. On a cold crisp late winter evening, in a town that's almost not on a map, a group of people find love, friendship and unexpected connections in the pleasant little community of "Almost, Maine". This charming quirky comedy is a series of short skits that show different residents and visitors in the span of one night in a town in northern Maine. The Hudson Shakespeare Company tours New Jersey to present Shakespearean and contemporary theater in local communities. Almost, Maine is appropriate for teen and adult audiences.

The Raspberry Pi is a credit card-sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It is a capable little computer which can be used in electronics projects, and for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word processing, browsing the internet, and playing games. It also plays high-definition video. Sign up here for Intro to Raspberry Pi class on Sunday at 3. Learn what a "Pi" can do for you!
Have a spectacular week. See you in the Library!
