Passwords are supposed to keep other people out, not you! If you spend a lot of time locked out of your important accounts and get confused about all the different methods of password recovery, join us to learn all the things you may be asked to do to recover your password, how to do this, and how to set a secure password you can remember.

This program will be held on Tuesday April @ 2pm in the library’s lower-level Community Meeting Room.

What are Tech Tuesdays? These FREE hour-long technology presentations give general information about a technology topic, with time to ask your questions. No registration necessary! The same presentation is given at all four Leelanau Libraries throughout the month. All dates are on Tuesdays, and all presentations are at 2pm.

Join us for part three of a five-part conversation series hosted by Derenda Lefevre of Open Your Eyes To Access (OYETA). These conversations will focus on centering disability stories, the history of disability in our communities, and provide opportunities for non-disabled people to learn about disability, ableism, and what it means to embrace accessibility and equity in our community spaces. Refreshments will be served and documentation for continuing education will be available upon request.

#3 Activism, Resistance, and Resilience: In conversation three we’ll explore major events in the Disability Rights Movement, celebrate the disabled leaders that led the way, challenged the societal view of people with disabilities, and pushed the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Join this 3-day workshop and learn how to 3D print with others who are jazzed about printing! AND, you get to take home a printer!

3D printing is the process of creating objects using plastic material (filament). Now widely popular in industry as well as STEM in schools. This set of classes will show what 3D printing is, how to set up and use a 3D printer, and finally creating your own objects to print.

Need to know who wants a printer 2 weeks before class.

Nomi Indivisible, along with Between the Covers bookstore and McLean and Eakin Booksellers, is pleased to sponsor the Meet the Primary Candidates forum in Petoskey on April 7th.

The MI-01 Meet the Candidates Project involves a series of eleven non-partisan events bringing candidates directly to communities across the 1st Congressional District early in the election cycle. All too often, voters in rural communities have limited opportunities to engage directly with the candidates. This event aims to change that by bringing the candidates to the voters.

This is a moderated and structured forum in which candidates will be asked to respond to questions of specific interest to our community. All major primary candidates have been invited to participate in the forum, which will be grounded in fairness and respect.

Four candidates have confirmed their participation: Kyle Blomquist - Democrat (Iron Mountain), Justin Michal - Republican (Grayling), Zebulon Featherley - Independent (Traverse City) and Wayne Stiles - Democrat (Traverse City).

Location:
Carnegie Building, 451 E. Mitchell St., Petoskey, MI 49770
Date & Time:
Tuesday, April 7
5:30 pm — Doors Open
6:00 – 7:30 PM – Candidate Forum
7:30 – 8:00 PM – Post-Forum Candidate Chat
Coffee and water will be provided.

For more information and to RSVP: M-1 Project.
