Asphodel-Norwood Public Library has some new links to add to our general research links.
“Since 1974, CLEO (Community Legal Education Ontario / Éducation juridique communautaire Ontario) has developed clear, accurate, and practical legal rights education and information to help people understand and exercise their legal rights. Our work focuses on providing information to people who face barriers to accessing the justice system, including income, disability, literacy, and language. As a community legal clinic and part of Ontario’s legal aid system, we work in partnership with other legal clinics and community organizations across the province.”
“Steps to Justice is a first-of-its-kind initiative that empowers people in Ontario to understand and take action to deal with their legal problems. It gives comprehensive online information on common legal problems that people experience in family, housing, employment and other areas of law.”
“PCLC (Peterborough Community Legal Centre) is a community legal clinic dedicated to providing free legal services to low income residents of Peterborough City and County.”
ServiceOntario is the website to go to for all provincial government services here in Ontario.

The SYNC Audiobooks for Teens program, sponsored by AudioFile Magazine and powered by OverDrive, kicks off its eighth year with an exciting lineup of bestselling and award-winning authors. SYNC gives away two FREE audiobook downloads every week over the summer to listeners age 13+.
These books are totally free and yours to keep forever. You can download them to your computer, tablet, or other device. You can sign up for email or text alerts at AudioBookSync so you don’t miss any, and you don’t want to miss the downloads because they are only available for one week – once the next set comes out, the old ones are gone forever. This program runs from April 27 to August 16, 2017.
Do you love to knit or crochet? Are you interested in using your skills to make something for others?
We would love to have you join us for our Crafts for Community Club at Norwood Public Library on the third Tuesday of the month.
We are looking for people to make projects such as hats, mittens, scarves, slippers, lap blankets, etc. for people in our community who need them.
If you know a cause that we could work toward, let us know.
If you don’t knit or crochet, you can still help out by donating supplies.
Our next meeting is Tuesday May 23rd at 6:30pm.
