| Hello, and Happy Friday! | |
The school year is coming to an end, which is great for our summer programs. But this means our graduating intern, Douglas, will be leaving us.
Douglas has been amazing at supporting our patrons with their 1:1 tech help needs for over a year here at the Milne! He has built the foundation of tech help sessions at the library, and we will miss him dearly. However, we look forward to hearing about his future endeavors. Congratulations on this major accomplishment, Douglas! 🎉 |

Seeing how popular tech times have been, we will still be offering them! Tech times will be taking a small break, but will be offered again in June! More details to come.
Please Note: We will be closed Friday, May 16th for an in-service staff training day. All online resources will still be available. We will re-open Saturday, May 17th 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. |
