Christmas goodies for sale in the Library.
Internet at the Library
The Library's Internet connection is now up and running.
This new service has become very popular. Library members are thrilled to have access to
this fantastic research and communications tool. Users may set up free e-mail accounts
with web-based services such as "Hotmail". Library staff will be happy to assist
you with your Internet searches and e-mail accounts. Remember: all three of our publicly

WORD for WORD
The San Francisco-based theater troupe, Word for Word
will be back in Montpellier on March 20, 1999!
Mark this date on your calendars now. Word for Word stages short
literary works verbatim (including "he said", she replied", etc.), thus
preserving the author's original intent. The result is a remarkable and original
performance.
This year's story is the outstanding Barbara Kingsolver short story,
"Rose-Johnny".
See the Library's web site for more information about Word for Word and a review of last year's performance.
