Online Library Programs with Zoom

The library offers many programs online. Please visit our Library Calendar to see all upcoming events, with links to connect. Some events may require registration, after which you will receive the Zoom link by email.

We will use the Zoom platform to host these events.

This works in most web browsers, and there is also a free app for your desktop computer or mobile device. You do not need to pay for an account to take part.

Note: if you have Zoom downloaded on your computer or mobile device, it must be updated regularly. If you are having trouble connecting, please check that you have updated Zoom first.
