Want to exchange some books, movies you have had for a while? There is still time to bring them to Newton Public Library this week for the Friends of NPL to add to next week's Spring Book Sale. Then you can come get some replacements! All for the benefit of Newton Public Library.
Newton Linux User Group added an event.
Come in and discuss Linux and other fun computer things. RSVP here for Pizza. The cost of Pizza is now $10 so please make sure to bring that if you want some.
Nothing we don't already know but it is nice to see it in print.
