Earn a free book for yourself or to donate to a local school:
Whether you prefer to snuggle in a warm blanket with a chilling mystery or hibernate until spring with a sunny gardening guide, you can earn a free book by completing a few simple challenges in the annual Winter Reading Program during February at the Wells County Public Library. This year the program celebrates the 2010 Olympics with “Go for the Gold!”. Check out these programs for adults, teens and children and sign up to play along in February.
Adults & Teens Bingo:
Play WCPL Bingo and “Go for the Gold!”. Adults and teens should stop by the library to pick up a special bingo card. Each square offers an interesting challenge to complete during the month of February. Complete the challenges to get four down, across, or diagonally or four corners. After successfully completing the program you may select a book for yourself OR you can donate a book to one of the four elementary schools in Wells County. Forms and rules will be available on February 1, 2010 at the main library or at the Ossian Branch.
Kids & families build a snowman:
Families with children will work together to earn a keepsake book during the Winter Reading Program. This multigenerational program encourages families to read together or separately as a team to complete the easy challenge. Receive hot chocolate just for signing up and then read to “build a snowman”. Forms and rules will be available on February 1, 2010 in the children’s room at the main library or at the Ossian Branch.

Every Child Ready to Read: free workshops at the library
Every Child Ready to Read just may take your long-held notion of the “right way” to read to your children and turn it upside down. The staff of the children’s department of the Wells County Public Library is eager to share the latest research about developing early literary skills in a series of free workshops for parents, caregivers and teachers.
What is it?
Every Child Ready to Read is a new way to read to young children. Studies have shown that how we read to our children is even more important than how much we read to them. It is not a program to teach children how to read. Every Child Ready to Read is a program to help them develop fundamental skills that will make learning to read easier.
The library staff felt the results of this program, for all socio-economic levels, were so remarkable they have incorporated Every Child Read to Read into their outreach programming.
Much of what we know about how the brain works in young children has advanced in recent years because of new technologies, such as MRI and PET scans. Some of the research used to create this program came from comparisons of the developing brain of healthy, nurtured children to institutionalized orphans who were neglected in infancy. Other studies include mapping the development of brain synaptic density, as well as evaluations by physicians, teachers, and the parents themselves.
Every Child Ready to Read workshops will be held on three consecutive Tuesdays at 5:45 p.m. Each session will concentrate on a particular age. A light supper will be served. The sessions will end by 7:30 p.m.
· Feb. 23: Pre-Talkers (birth-2 yrs.)
· Mar. 2: Talkers (2 & 3 yrs)
· Mar. 9: Pre-School (4 & 5 yrs)
Registration is required. To sign up, log onto the library website at www.wellscolibrary.org or call 260-824-1612.

· Alt + keypad keystrokes : We practiced keystrokes for a variety of hidden symbols such as the degree sign (“°” alt 0176) and the cent sign (“¢” alt 155).
· How to speed up your computer: We looked at Microsoft’s instructions for disc cleanup, how to defrag, clear temporary files and cookies, and other methods for speeding up your computer.
