Little Free Libraries (Book Exchanges)
Informal Book Exchanges are already popular in Cambridge on streets and at the DPW yard. This project would install 13 Little Free Libraries (Book Exchanges) to support literacy, community engagement, and fun throughout the streets of our city.
Using Google Calendar (Main)
Want an easier way to keep track of appointments, events, and reminders? Come learn Google Calendar, a free scheduling tool that works on your phone, tablet, or computer.
We'll cover the basics: creating and editing events, setting reminders, sharing calendars with family or coworkers, and syncing across your devices. No experience needed, just bring your questions (and a Google account if you have one).
This class is a part of the AARP curriculum. To learn more about AARP please go to: www.oats.org
