New Bremen Pool Party Rain Date

Thankfully we have worked with the New Bremen Village Office to reschedule the pool time that was compromised on Sunday night, July 23rd due to weather.

The rescheduled rain date of the New Bremen Pool Party is -  Thursday, August 10th from 9-11pm at the New Bremen Pool. As we have already distributed prizes and snacks, we will not be able to offer anything more than free pool time.

This rescheduled Pool Time is open to all New Bremen Pool Party #1 Attendees that had already turned in their pool passes on Sunday night (7/23/17). It will ALSO be open to any other Pool Pass Holder that did not yet turn in their Pool Party Pass to either Party. If you have any questions, please call or email the libraries.

Mobile Hotspots Collection

 

Mobile Hotspots - Borrow the Internet from Your Library

Welcome to our Hotspot lending service. To further the Library’s mission to provide resources to serve the informational, educational, and recreational needs of the public, we are introducing our Hotspot lending program to make information – and more specifically the Internet – accessible to everyone. Auglaize County Libraries now offers mobile Hotspots available for borrowing. You may borrow the device to access the Internet for free at home, in the car, or anywhere else you receive a cellular signal! 

Digital e-Book Borrowing

Did you look at your tablet and say to yourself "How does this thing work". If you received a tablet or e-reader for Christmas or even if you already owned one and would like to know more about borrowing FREE e-books, audiobooks and more through the library then this class is exactly what you need. During the month of January, we will be doing lectures on the whole process of getting digital content through the Ohio Digital Library using the Overdrive App and all new Libby App. Each of our 6 libraries will be hosting classes on a new way to read books. If you 're stumped trying to figure out your new device, stop by the library or visit our Online Calendar to register for this class.
