Computer Classes

Starting in the fall of 2011, after school starts again, we will be offering computer classes to the public at no charge at the Round Mountain branch. We will initially offer classes for basic computer use, Microsoft Office programs, Word and Excel, and surviving the internet. Classes will be held twice a week and will run 90 minutes each.



Here on our website you will find new links and activites available. We will have our new and upcoming book releases on here, as well as new music and video releases.
In our Just 4 Kids section, there are activities for the younger crowd to enjoy, and links for them to get homework help as well.
Our Teen section will have popular links for young adults, homework help pages, and events within our community.
Coming Soon: We will be adding an online searchable card catalog for our libraries.

* The Big Smoky Valley is a landform of the Tonopah Basin between the Toiyabe and Toquima mountain ranges. It is about 100 (160km) in length, and is known by other names, (some with different spellings): including Great Smoky Valley, Smokey Valley, Smoky Valley, Wen-A-No-Nu-Fee Valley, and Won-A-No-Nu-Fee Valley. The U.S. Geological Survey usually refers to it as “Big Smoky Valley”, but the chamber of commerce in the valley calls itself the Greater Smoky Valley Chamber of Commerce.
