Get Organized with Evernote!
Have you used Evernote before? Evernote is an online tool for individuals and teams to capture, organize, and share ideas in any form. The app is available across platforms on desktop, mobile, or on the web, meaning your ideas are always with you, always accessible, and always in sync. Evernote can be used to help you keep track of information in every aspect of life, work and personal. On Thursday, May 11, at 6:30pm, Jonathan Gaby, online communications professional and Evernote Certified Consultant, will teach us more about this versatile online tool. Read more about Evernote | Register for Evernote 101

Join the Reading Without Walls Challenge
Oftentimes, reading stories about experiences that the reader never had, struggles he/she has never encountered, perspectives other than his/her own, builds empathy. Which is why, Gene Luen Yang, as National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, has issued the Reading Without Walls Challenge! Read a book about a character who doesn’t look like you or live like you, read a book about a topic you don’t know much about, and read a book in a format that you don’t normally read for fun. Join us in the challenge! Read more | geneyang.com 

Genealogy Conversations
We’ll begin hosting Genealogy Conversations this summer. Come talk about what you’re currently working on, your successes, and your brick walls. It will be a give-and-take conversation — you might be able to help someone, and they might be able to help you. These Conversations will be led by Mark Kinnaird, who also teaches classes on the library’s genealogy databases. While Conversations will not be a class, we hope that participants will learn from each other through discussions. If you are interested in Genealogy Conversations, please contact Mark at 502-352-2665 x107 or [email protected].
