Files, Flashdrives, and Beyond
Adults with basic mouse and typing skills are invited to learn how to apply those skills to create files and store them on a flashdrive.

About the branch
The Spades Park Branch was built with funds from a $120,000 grant by the Andrew Carnegie Foundation and opened in 1912, six months after the opening of the city’s other remaining Carnegie Library, the East Washington Branch. The 7,500-square-foot branch underwent a $610,000 renovation in 1987 and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012.
