Training Videos for FREE!

A new feature you may have noticed on

our web site is a link to the site called

Lynda.com. Lynda is a site of training videos

for a variety of topics. You can learn more

about software you may use at home, for work

or how to take better pictures. All the videos are

free to access if you have a North Baltimore

Library Card! You simply click the link, enter

your library card number, and pin. Once logged

on you can browse through all the videos until

you find one that peaks your interest.

These videos are a great way to improve

a skill you already have, or learn something new.

The videos not only have a range of topics but

also are geared to different skill levels. If you

have any questions feel free to ask us.

Farewell to 2018

We’ve had a wonderful year at the NB

Library! It’s been a good year of welcoming

new staff members – Heather and Tammy

in the Children’s Area and our new high

school pages, Abbi and Kennedy. And

saying hello to new babies in the family –

Holly’s Lakelyn in March and Courtney’s

Sophia in July! Between all the coming and

goings through the year, we have managed

to build a great team! Our Summer and

Fall offerings were quite diverse and strong!

Our Library does Rock! We look forward to

continuing this trend into 2019! On March

10th we will celebrate the 100th Anniversary

of the North Baltimore Public Library! We

are planning quite a few special events to

coincide with this special date! Look for all

of the “hoopla” to be rolled out in the New

Year! In the meantime, a few things to

start the celebration –

We have a new copier/printer! This one will

print in full color! Please ask for assistance!

A color page is 25 cents, black & white is

still 15 cents.

On December 1st, we are raising our DVD

check outs to a maximum of 15 per day.

In January, the number of digital

magazines on Flipster will increase to over

100 offerings! Haven’t tried it yet? You’ll

want to soon! Find it on our website!
