Happy New Year

Welcome back, we hope you had a great holiday break!

Getting Free eBooks 
We kicked off our year with a workshop last week where we guided patrons through checking out eBooks for FREE from the library.  If you or your students are interested, but didn't make it to the workshop, check out the step-by-step guides available on our website (there's even a buying guide if you want to compare different devices).  Or come by the library - bring your device to one of the reference desks and we'll be glad to help you figure out the system!

Homework Help
Our Homework Helpers are back starting today.  Please check http://beavertonlibrary.org/homeworkhelp for the most current hours.  Remember that you can always email Ian or Dawn if you'd like us to send over some Homework Help bookmarks for your students.

Teen Winter Reading
We'll announce the Teen Winter Reading Program book review winners on Wednesday - check here and on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/beavertoncitylibraryteens - for results!
