Voorheesville Library Notes for Thursday, May 10, 2018
Join us at the Voorheesville Public Library on Sunday, May 13, at 2 p.m. for this newly released version of an Agatha Christie mystery where detective Hercule Poirot takes a train ride through Europe. Murder, mayhem, and mystery abound as Hercule sorts through multiple suspects to discover whodunnit. The film is rated PG-13 and runs for 114 minutes. Light refreshments will be served.
Cloud storage
Want to get a handle on the nebulous "cloud?" Join us on Tuesday, May 15 at 6 p.m. as we demystify the cloud and look at its advantages and disadvantages. Then we will spend time-saving and managing files in the cloud and accessing them over the internet.
Participants can bring their own devices, or use one of the library’s laptops. Optionally, bring a second device for even more hands on practice. Please register for one session.
The right college at the right price
