| A Note from Noah |
| Hi everyone,
I hope you’ve had a great week!
We have an upcoming iPad Essentials course starting at Chevy Chase Library! This 5-week course will now begin on Tuesday, May 16. Registration is required. iPads will be loaned out during class for those who do not own one. Come and learn more about this ubiquitous tablet!
I’m also looking forward to our lecture next week all about Graphic Design Tools. (I've heard from many people who were interested in having this class offered again!) Come learn more about Canva and other free design tools on May 4 at Margaret Schweinhaut Senior Center.
Have a great weekend,
