Dining For Dollars The Friends of the Washington Township Library are proud to once again offer Dining For Dollars
Blind Date with a Book To celebrate Valentine's Day, come into the library and have a blind date with a book. Choose from our selection of wrapped books to borrow. It will be a mystery until you get home! This is a great chance for you to try reading something you might not normally pick out for yourself. Fill out the review form when you finish the book, and we'll post your review on our Book Review Blog. (If you don't like the book, no problem -- the book won't mind if you don't see it again.) To submit a review electronically, click here.
Antique Doorknob Display Come to the Library this month to see "Jewelry for Buildings," a display of antique doorknobs by the Antique Doorknob Collectors of America.
New Technology Classes for Adults! The Library will be offering a series of technology classes beginning January 26. Click here for details or go to the Adults page to sign up.

With Corfacts you can reach nearly 65,000 New Jersey businesses, top officers, plant managers, HR contacts, and buyers. You can also create mailing lists, prospect lists, and update your contact database. Use the link to the right or go to our databases page. TumbleBookLibrary is an online collection of animated, talking, musical, narrated picture books that teach kids the joy of reading in a format they’ll love.

January's display is by the Musconetcong Watercolor Group. Classes meet weekly in a 19th-century gristmill overlooking the Musconetcong River near Hampton. The mill is the home and studio of Doris Ettlinger -- watercolorist, teacher, and illustrator of many children’s books. Ettlinger shares her knowledge of watercolor technique and color theory, and provides members with one-on-one instruction. “Watercolor requires careful thought before wetting the brush, courage when applying the paint, and restraint from fussing over it afterwards. When done right the color looks fresh, not overworked.”
The 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.
