No, that's not a typo. It's Appy Hour, where you can learn how to put your smart phone or tablet to better use by exploring free apps and digital services. Whether you received a new digital device as a gift, or want to make the most of one you've had, this is the place to be. This month's Appy Hour is on January 21 from 4:30-5:30 at McMenamin's Old St. Francis School, and we'll feature Hoopla, the library's free movie streaming service. But you can bring your questions about any of your library apps. Light snacks will be provided and beverages will be available for sale. We hope to see you there!
