Checkers Library TV Virtual Programs June 7 – August 23, 2021

These twelve 30-minute episodes coincide with the national summer reading program Tails and Tales. Each episode will feature an animal of the week, animal arts and crafts, and interviews with animal experts and animal book reviews. Visit our Kids page for programming links beginning on Monday, June 7th! Program sponsored by: 2021 United Fund of Iowa County Grant.

Announcement!! We are now offering 6-week online Gale Courses! Set up an account to participate using your SWLS library card number to get free access. The courses are asynchronous, so there are no set times that a patron has to sign in to be part of a class. Lectures are recorded. Course materials do progress over the 6 weeks, though, so working through lessons on a roughly weekly basis is generally what would be advised. For some courses, certificates of completion are provided if the patron receives a sufficient grade (some of these could count toward CE hours, in case of interest); some other courses have no grades or certificates. Here is the link for accessing Gale Courses; the main page lays out how you get started. If your browser doesn’t go directly to website link, you can access website by either typing in or cutting and pasting in your browser: https://education.gale.com/l-swwls/

Newspapers, magazines, comfy chairs and sunny windows, Large Print books, non-fiction DVD’s, four public computers, Local History and Genealogy resources.
