Due to the pandemic, we have moved these three events to an online setting instead of our usual location at the Columbia Public Library. This will be on Zoom. There will be a limit of 100 individuals able to log in to each program. The detail for login information is provided below for each event.

Many people have already used Zoom and have the software loaded on their computers. If you haven’t used Zoom before, when you click on the link to enter the Zoom session, you should get a prompt to download the software. It only takes a few moments to download.
