Spring is Here!

Spring is here (although the weather doesn't seem to agree lately) and we have exciting news for the teens: Auburndale Library has acquired a Wii! That's right, if you have a group of friends and you want to multiplay in the library, just bring some extra controllers (we only have one) and some games and you can swing your arm as much as you want without breaking anything! For more information about Wii programming, contact me.

Auburndale Library Fact-of-the-Month!

• Because of the archaic structure of our library before the introduction of Wi-Fi, we have no outlets available for laptops in the adult area. So if you're planning to bring your laptop, make sure it is fully charged!
