Edson Public Library

LIBRARY NEWS:

The Edson Public Library is already working on the 2009 Summer Reading Programs and that includes the ever-popular “Reading Buddies”.  Our programmer, Suzy, has already visited Evergreen Elementary School so watch for more school visits and visit the Edson Public Library for more information on our Summer Reading Programs.

KIDS AND PARENTS:   Remember to redeem your FREE LIBRARY CARD note that Suzy is handing out if you don’t already have a library membership.

See you soon at Edson Public Library!

POLARIS

It’s official:  Polaris HAS taken the Edson Public Library to a higher level!  Though we are still encountering some growing pains, everyone agrees the new software is better.  Constant tweaking from the Yellowhead Regional Library is ongoing and the staff here at the Edson Public Library are so very grateful for the expertice at YRL!  Kudos also to you, our loyal patrons, for your endless supply of patience.  Thank you!

You can find more information about our switch to Polaris on the YRL website at www.yrl.ab.ca/toolkit/polaris.html.

WANT TO LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE?

Edson Public Library has launched Tell Me More®, an innovative language learning software that puts 13 languages just a mouse click away. The software is intended to help new Canadians learn English, but will also prove a useful tool for travelers looking to brush up on local languages.

Tell Me More is a multi-sensory, interactive experience that teaches proper pronunciation, listening, and reading techniques, while allowing users to practice phonetics, grammar and dialogue in real time. People who speak French, Italian, Dutch, German, Spanish, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese, Turkish, Korean, Chinese and Japanese can receive instruction in their native tongue. English speakers can also learn French, Italian, Dutch, German and Spanish.
