Gaming and Computers

Want to try a new activity at your next club or organization’s event? The Muskoka Lakes Public Library is offering an outreach program whereby a staff member would bring the Wii system to your event, during regular library hours, to demonstrate how easy it is to set up and use. If introducing your members to a new, fun activity appeals to you, then please call the library at 705-765-5650 to discuss this new opportunity. Muskoka Lakes Public Library in Port Carling is also pleased to offer the Nintendo Wii gaming system for use within the library for individual card-holding library patrons or small groups. Please pre-book to ensure that the Wii system is available.

In other technology news, the Port Carling branch library has recently replaced all public access computers, desks, and seating. In addition all five new computers offer Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010. Regular users of the public access computers are aware that there is a nominal charge for use of the library computers but did you know that a discounted six month option is available? Please check with the Library staff or click on the policies link on the library website found at www.muskoka.com/library for more information.
