In this past week, staff have seen the starting changes “behind the wall” on the second floor. The carpet was removed to prep the area for the new Center. Can you guess which floor the carpet was repurposed?
In the meanwhile we continue to build new and exciting curriculum. Most recently Adobe InDesign was introduced for those interested in Graphic Design. We are offering Adobe InDesign Fundamentals classes on Monday, July 8 at 5pm and Thursday, July 18 at 10am. Summer fun for kids and teens continues in July with our Camp Savvy and TechKrew Technology classes.
So join us. It’s an exciting time to be at the Orlando Public Library!
