Author Day: Len Kovar
"WWII PRISONER OF WAR: HOW I SURVIVED"
By Len Kovar Saturday, April 27 10:00am-12:30pm Author Len Kovar brings his personal story of survival behind Nazi barbed wire to life at a book sale and signing event. This is the story of a young American airman, Second Lt. Len Kovar, a B-24 Bombadier from Carmichael who was shot down over Eastern Europe on a beautiful day in 1943. Len Kovar provides a candid story of survival, his personal struggle to endure and a unique insight into the minds of prisoners and German soldiers following orders of their Nazi leaders. "What's New With Friends"
(From the Granite Bay View) By Eileen Wilson
If you think the library is a place where gray-haired librarians with chained bifocals shush you, well, you haven’t been to the Granite Bay Library lately. Walk in the door and you will see a beehive of activity. From kids thumbing through throngs of picture books to teens playing multi-user video games; from people job searching and creating resumes to seniors enjoying the newest biographies, the Granite Bay Library has something for everyone — and everyone who visits feels a sense of community and welcome....MORE New Self-Checkout Machine and Computers Streamline Operations
At the request of the Branch Librarian and County Support Staff, Friends voted in August to fund new computers for patron use and Self Checkout Machines. Four new desktop computers replace the old computers and will have updated operating systems, Wi-Fi Access to Library's wireless network, and updated versions of commonly used software applications. The Self Checkout Machine help library staff minimize wait time by allowing patrons to check out their materials on their own using a scanning device and a library card. Learn more about recent Friends contributions.
