COMMUNITY EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
 
     The Meridian Senior Center is currently looking for retirees interested in teaching/sharing their skills.  The Center is hoping to get off the ground something similar to a lifelong learning/continuing education program.  If you are interested in helping, please contact Cherie Wisdom (Coordinator) by email or phone with any questions:  cherie.wisdom@okemosschools.net or 517-706-5045.
 
     eBooks, eMagazines, and audio books may be available through your local library.  Libraries have been expanding the digital resources which you can access from your home computer, tablet, smartphone, or eReader device.  For example, the CADL-affiliated libraries in the Greater Lansing area have 100 popular magazines which you can access from your computer, tablet, or smartphone -- for free.  Contact your local library and inquire about digital resources and classes to help you learn to use them.
