“THANK YOU”
Artist Cheryl Toles donated a 43 x 48 Original Batik, entitled, The Ghanian Sail and a 30 x 40 Original Acrylic, entitled
Two Men on a Camel.
Ms. Toles received a BA in Art Education from Southern Illinois University and an MBA from Colorado Technical
University. She discovered a love for Music and Art at an early age. Ms. Toles artwork has been exhibited at over 29 shows
and galleries, focusing on mediums such as watercolor, pastel, charcoal, acrylic, pencil, and textiles.
Ms. Toles is a member of “Sapphire and Crystals, “a highly respected group of African-American female artists. Her
artwork represents the diversity within the African-American community and her artwork reflects Christianity, motherhood, sensuality, creativity, productivity, balance, and loving relationships. Her artwork is displayed in the small meeting
room and the wi-fi café area.

What is CLOUD COMPUTING?
Cloud computing refers to the internet as the “sky” and “clouds”. Which are connections between different
computers. The large computers or servers does all the “hard work” instead of the local computers running
programs, processing and storing data. The benefits to this setup is that the workload of the local computer is
greatly reduced, and there are office programs like Google Docs and Office Web Apps. This lets you create, store
and share documents online that you can access from anywhere. The drawbacks of it is, if the cloud computing
servers go offline you go offline. It is the same as internet computing which means that you should not use data
that you are not comfortable having online. Also, depending on the device that you are using, the “cloud” may
have some restrictions on what programs or apps you can or cannot use.
Banned Books Week!!! September 30 - October 6, 2012
Banned Books Week is an event celebrating freedom
to read and the importance of the First Amendment.
It highlights the benefits of free and open access to
information while drawing attention to the harms of
censorship by spotlighting actual or attempted banning of books
across the US.
During Banned Books Week, there will be displays and challenges to
engage you the readers on the best allies in fighting censorship.

Mobile Hot Spot
Markham Public Library Bookmobile travels throughout the city Markham and Posen bringing
the library to schools, daycare centers, neighborhood and businesses. Parents we will be making
stops at some of the local schools during school hours. In order for students to check out items
they must have a valid library card. We encourage you to apply for a library card for your child
so they can experience Markham’s first Bookmobile. Let’s all work together to continue to
make the Bookmobile a success! To schedule a stop at your facility or neighborhood, contact
the Markham Public Library at (708) 331-0130.
