Fabulous Photos Workshops

Last night was the first in a series of workshops designed to help people do more with their digital cameras.

Last night's session with Loreen Liberty, of TLM Studios, focused on the technical aspects of a digital camera: how to set resolution, compression, what memory card and batteries, to use, etc. Next week, on March 19th, Loreen will switch from the technical to the creative aspects of photographs - choosing subjects, balancing foreground and background, paying attention to color and lighting, and much more.

The third and final workshop, on April 2nd, will give one example of what can be done with the pictures you take with your digital camera. Brian Herzog of the Chelmsford Library will demonstrate how the photo sharing website flickr can be used to store, organize and share photographs.

Upcoming Program Series: Financial Fitness

The Library is sponsoring a 6-part series on Financial Fitness, Investing, and Retirement Planning.

The first sessions will be an introduction to the topic, geared towards those who feel there's more they should be doing with their finances and assets, but don't know where or how to begin. The later sessions will build on the first and get into more details.

The first session, "Introduction to Financial Fitness," will be held on September 13th and then repeated on September 27th, for those who can't make the first date. The instructor is Rishi Sondhi (more about Rishi).

To learn more about this series, please visit the webpage. Also, you can read more in an article from the Lowell Sun.

Also, there is a handout of finance and investing books, periodicals, and other resources in the Library: click to download [pdf, 128kb]
