                                      TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2015 , 6 pm                                     LEARN 2 EMAIL JUSTIN BATZ

The second adult program of the Modern Computing Series takes place on November 17th. Justin Batz will walk those who sign up through the process of establishing their very first email accounts and show them the basics of using Email. For the first time in the Modern Computing Series, Justin will deviate from providing content mainly for the auditory learner and provide some hands-on time for those who are visual or must do it themselves. The expectation for this class is that if you do not currently have an email before attending you will when the Adult Program is over and will be able to access your email, add contacts and reply to those who have emailed you.

Modern Computing classes are held at the Stutsman County Library, 910 5th St. SE. Park behind the library and enter through the south door.

Advance Directive Planning

Friends of the  James River Valley Library System held the first in a series of programs on planning for end of life on October 8th. The initial class was taught by Tracy Johnk from Jamestown Regional Medical Center and Gary Riffe, retired administrator from Hi-Acres, now Eventide. They brought a wealth of knowledge on how to prepare for the final days of life. They offered advice on the important discussions that need to take place for treatment and end of life wishes, the importance of a Long Term Care Policy, living wills and appointment of an agent.

Thanks to Tracy and Gary! And thanks to library staff for set up assistance. More classes to come. Watch for “How to E-Mail” in November, presented by computer guru Justin Batz.
