Coming Soon! Dormont Library's Book Sale!

Dormont Library's Book Sale returns this year, from Thursday, June 5 to Saturday, June 7. The Book Sale will run from 10 AM to 8:30 PM on Thursday and 10 AM to 4 PM on Friday and Saturday.

There are hundreds of books to choose from, both fiction and non-fiction, so come by and take a look!

Proceeds benefit the Library.

New Computers Are Here

Dormont Library's computer upgrade is complete!

These new computers offer several new capabilities to our patrons. All systems now have Microsoft Office 2007 installed, as well as Internet Explorer 7 and the Mozilla Firefox web browser. The new computers can also burn DVDs and CDs.

Patrons who have used Microsoft Office 2003 will notice that Office 2007 has a different user interface. Microsoft has provided interactive guides for the Office 2007 suite to help you get accustomed to this new software.

The new computers no longer have floppy disk drives. Files stored on floppy drives are not accessible with the new computers.

We recommend that patrons purchase a USB flash drive (available at low cost from most major retailers) to store their files. USB flash drives have more capacity and are faster, more durable, and more reliable than floppy disks.

Files can also be stored online—if you have an account with a web mail provider, you can e-mail files to yourself, or you can use services such as MediaFire to temporarily store documents online.

Computer lab staff can assist you with transferring your files from floppy disk to a USB flash drive.

Dormont Library's Wise Walk - Next Program June 17

Dormont Library's Take a Wise Walk programs continue through the months of May and June. Keep checking in to report your progress!

Our next special presentation, Silver Sneakers Stretching Demonstration, will be on Tuesday, June 17, at 2 PM.

Enjoy a brief sneak preview of the SilverSneakers class as part of a fun warm-up that will get you ready to walk. Highmark's Silver Sneakers Fitness Program is a safe and energizing way for its members to get fit, have fun, and make friends.

Also keep an eye out for other healthy aging programs during the months of May and June. We also have a special collection of fitness books available on the first floor.

This program brought to you by the Allegheny County Library Association in partnership with AARP and the Highmark PALS Program.

Online Fine Payment

Patrons who have overdue fees of $2.00 or more can now pay their fines online using a Visa, MasterCard, or Discover Card.

Holiday Closing - Memorial Day, Monday, May 26

Dormont Library will be closed on Monday, May 26, in observance of the Memorial Day holiday.

The drop box will be open, but returns will not be processed until the following day. To avoid fines, please return or renew your items ahead of time.

Yoga Instruction

Unite your body and mind by practicing the art of yoga. Sessions will resume in June, and are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 7 PM. These beginner-level courses are taught by the certified instructors of Human Race Yoga.

This program is donation-supported and works on a "pay-what-you-can" system.

Please bring your own water, towel, and yoga mat. A limited number of mats may be rented from the instructor for a $1 fee. Please wear comfortable athletic clothes.
