Elections, Suggestions, and Updates

Our next meeting, and hopefully elections too, will be on October 27 at 3pm. If you are interested in running for an office, please post a comment stating your qualifications and plans for TAG in the future. I will post them to the blog and everyone can be prepared for our next meeting!

TAG has 3 officers: President, Vice-President, and Secretary.

I am wondering about the interest in a Thursday evening craft session. Open to any crafts, so it could be knitting, duct-tape, beadwork, etc. Any response? Holidays are just around the corner, people, and making gifts is much less expensive than buying them!

Overdrive.com and other news

Did you know that you can get audiobooks through the Amarillo Public Library website? The library is proud to offer our patrons access to Overdrive.com. With this service you can download audiobooks to your PC or MP3 player to listen to at your leisure. You can burn some, but not all, titles to CDs as well. Checkout is 14 days, the same as the materials you get from APL. The following Youth and Young Adult titles are available: The Book Thief, Speak, Feed, The Princess Diaries, Eragon, Eldest, Twilight, Sabriel, Hatchet, and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Just go the the library website, http://www.amarillolibrary.org/, and click on Overdrive Downloadable Audio Books link on the green navigation bar on the left side of the screen. Follow the instructions, and you are set!
Enjoy! This may help you when all the copies of Hatchet or The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe are checked out and you need it for an assignment!

There is no TAG meeting on Saturday as previously announced. We are having a lot of conflicts with other activities. Any ideas to respond to this? Also, what programs and activities would you like to see at the library? I would love to hear some suggestions.

Hope your first two weeks in school have been great!
