Code for Marin presents its inaugural series of CodeFests to identify and develop open data opportunities in Marin County. A CodeFest is an open discussion and collaboration of community members and coders. In the spirit of open data, all events are free and open to the public. Our event organizers will make a brief introduction and facilitate the discussion each night, then break into project-based teams and fact-gathering groups. The goal of the evening is to create a productive and playful atmosphere to brainstorm ideas, contribute to existing projects, and break ground on new solutions. Everyone and every brand of laptop is welcome!

Drop-in for some help getting free library eBooks and eAudiobooks on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. Bring your device and be sure you know your library card number and PIN, and your Apple ID or Amazon account login, depending on your device.
“What Else Can I Do with My iPad or iMac” with Ron Matteri from the Golden Gate Computer Society has been cancelled due to illness.
However, do not despair! I will still be there at 2pm Thursday to give you a short introduction to our Safari Online eBooks Collection for learning computer programs, software, and Apps for any and all devices. A handy resource since nothing comes with an instruction book anymore!
The remainder of the time will be an open Drop-In Help Session. Come and ask me anything your want about the library’s eResources – eBooks, databases, online services (such as One-on-One Computer Tutors, Discover & Go Museum Passes, etc.).
This is a demonstration-only class, but feel free to bring your laptop or tablet to follow along.
Hope to see you at the library!
Your Online Library – Your library card is your ticket to a world of online resources.

Are you interested in learning about the Ancient Peruvians who actually did walk in circles (the Nazca)? Peru’s archaeological record brings to light amazing stories of ceremony, resilience and innovation. This program, by San Rafael Public Library’s Assistant Director (and former South American archaeology student) Vanessa Christman, will feature the “greatest hits” of 7000 years of Peruvian prehistory.
