This Month's Display

PhotographThe photography of Kaspar Haycock is on display at our Library during the month of December.  Kaspar writes:

These photos are from my visits to New York City, San Francisco, Charleston, and Paris.  When taking my photos, composition and contrast are very important to me; the last thing I want is a dull. flat photograph.  The emotional aspects of my photographs are also important to me.  The photo should either be intimidating or inviting; it's important to me that the emotion be conveyed and understood.

I am currently a senior at West Morris Central High School.  I am planning to go to college to study photography and make it my career.

WTPL offers free Wireless InternetThe Library provides wireless Internet that can be used by anyone with a wireless-enabled laptop.  You do not have to be a patron.  You should know how to connect your own laptop to a wireless network.  There may not be anyone at the Library who can provide technical assistance.  Your laptop may display a number of Library wireless networks; you can connect to a network if it has an “unlocked” symbol (an open lock) next to it.  You don’t have to enter a password to connect to a network, and this means that the network is not secure.  This is not a problem unless you need to transfer confidential information, such as passwords or credit card information, in which case you may want to wait until you have access to a secured network. 

Washington Township Public Library is a member of the Morris Automated Information Network (M.A.I.N.),
which provides online information and access to the collections of all 37 member libraries.
