Fortis Alberta has donated two power monitors to be circulated to interested library patrons during August and September. Power monitors are small devices that measure and display the electrical usage of household appliances as well as the cost of running the appliance. Fortis wants to help customers cut down on their electricity costs and by making power monitors available, people can use them for free to identify the appliances that are using the most electricity and costing the most money.  Residents can borrow the monitor from the library as they would with any other library item.
What about the TILES FOR SMILES project! Well it is coming along very nicely, thanks to the many people who have purchased tiles. There will be two tile painting days in September.
