Drop in @ the Tech Cafe – Galiano Island Library

Exploring the Library Website Resources — with Carmen Oleskevich, Library Manager, Southern Gulf Islands Community Libraries

Sunday, October 22, 12-2 pm

There’s all sorts of neat things on the Library website — join Carmen during the Tech Cafe at the Library for a presentation touring the Southern Gulf Islands Community Libraries website, including the library’s eBook and e-Audiobook collection, and online resources such as Language Lessons, Art & Music Lessons, Medical Info, and School Materials for youth. Questions during and after the presentation are welcome. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn what is available for Galiano Library patrons, young and old.

TechCafe is jointly sponsored by the Galiano Library, GHCS Aging in Place, and the Galiano Activity Centre Society.

Donations for the Galiano Library and Galiano Health Care Society most appreciated.

Sunday Afternoon at the Pender Is. Library presents:

WEATHER

Is there a more pertinent and important topic to us than our weather, and, recently, what appear to be dramatic changes in world weather patterns? It seems as if our weather has gone globally berserk: scorching high temperatures, droughts, floods of Biblical proportion, melting ice, catastrophic storms. What is happening?

On Sunday, October 22^nd, at 2:00, come and hear Tony Merry and Bhree Young — both pilots, so you may be sure that weather is a crucial factor to both— give their perspectives on weather patterns in general as well as the strange perturbations that we are now experiencing. Have such phenomena been going on for millennia? Is climate change a “Chinese hoax” as some would have us believe? If it’s real, are we to blame? Is it too late to turn the climate change ship around?

Come, listen, and enjoy these two knowledgeable speakers on a topic that affects each of us, every day of our lives. Bring questions!

As always, coffee, tea and light refreshments will be provided. All ages welcome, but come early, as seating is always at a premium.
