Long Hill Library Book Club for July

The Long Hill Library Book Club is continuing all summer! Join us on Monday, July 9 @ 7:00 pm to discuss The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman (and whatever other topic we venture off on). We're a friendly group and we welcome new faces.

Copies of The Imperfectionists are available at the Long Hill Library front desk.  Stop by!

The Imperfectionists - Tom Rachman

Spirited, moving, and highly original. Set against the gorgeous backdrop of Rome, this vibrant debut novel follows the topsy-turvy private lives of the reporters, editors, and executives of an international English language newspaper as they struggle to keep it - and themselves - afloat.

Fifty years have ensued since the paper was founded by an enigmatic millionaire, and now, amid the stained carpeting and dingy office furniture, the staff's personal dramas seem far more important than the daily headlines.

As the era of print news gives way to the Internet age this imperfect crew stumbles toward an uncertain future.

Computer Basics Class for Adults this Summer @ Long Hill Library

Are you new to computers? Need help mousing around or getting an email address? Maybe you've got a laptop and have questions about file management, anti-virus software or internet radio! You're in luck.

Local resident Tom Kehoe is teaching a series of free classes for computer beginners at the Long Hill Library this summer. The classes meet every Tuesday, beginning on July 10 and running until August 14, from 10:30 am til noon. 

The course covers introduction to computers, the internet, email, social media, files & folders, backup & security, software review, and phones, photos, music & video. Please bring your laptop if you have one. 

Tom, a retired professor, has many years of teaching experience at Union County College. In his spare time, Tom often provides computer services to authors preparing manuscripts for publication. Non-beginners with questions about computers are also welcome.
