Missing Sodus While the weather was cooler, I finally got some things planted. I love to do the planting and the planning, it's the weeding I find exhausting. This year, they are like mutant weeds. You pull them out and in two days they are two feet tall again. The Sodus Library is now a Wireless Hotspot! Bring those laptops down to the Library and sit at a table, on one of the comfy couches, or even on the new bench in the front yard! When you open your browser, click on 'OWWL.' You will then be prompted for your library card number and your pin - if you've forgotten your pin, or didn't realize that you have one, visit the desk. Things to remember (from the OWWL Wireless Welcome page): This is a publicly accessible wireless network. Data that you send may be viewable by other people on the network. When transmitting sensitive information such as credit card numbers, make sure you are using SSL or another form of end-to-end connection encryption. If you're not sure how to do this, then we would recommend not using the connection for things like online shopping or banking. Although you are using your own computer, you must still abide by the library's acceptable use policy. We hope that you enjoy this new service - feedback is always welcomed. It was announced at the Friends of the Library meeting that the first 'Just Paperbacks' sale brought in $315.06 - the result of the efforts of a great many workers. Thanks to all who made this possible. Heading to Sodus Point for July 3 & 4? On Monday, the Kiddie Parade starts at Village Hall at 11 a.m. The Antique & Classic Car Parade starts at 7.
