Library Announcements (e-books, Slavic New Year, Immigrants, GED)

Join us at your Holgate Library as we welcome the new year in many ways... from an e-book training (January 5th) for folks who now have a new toy and would like to access the thousands of electronic books that they already own, with their library cards, to an event for immigrants (January 8th) who might be allowed to legally stay in the USA under the Deferred Action program.

For more information, look under Events and classes at www.multcolib.org.
