Bat Making Class, Learn the Word & Minecraft Monster Game

It’s back to school and back to work for many today, Tuesday, Oct. 15 after the Columbus holiday on Monday.

The gorgeous weather enjoyed yesterday is expected to continue with weather.com predicting temperatures in the high 60s.

If you decided to extend the holiday weekend into a longer weekend, there are library programs happening today for those looking to shore up computing skills and for young kids there’s an opportunity to make a bat for the upcoming Halloween celebration and also a game program for the older kids.

Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, build structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grows players can work together to create wonderful, imaginative things. 

This class is for the beginner providing a basic introduction to Microsoft Word.  Patrons will learn to create, save, edit and change the font type.  Prerequisite: A good working knowledge of how to use a mouse.
