Who’s got Cabin Fever (by Jeff Kinney?)

We do! Cabin Fever, the sixth in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series – by Jeff Kinney – is here! (And it’s turquoise in case you were wondering.) Give us a call (860-668-3896) and we’ll put it aside for you. Couldn’t get your hands on one of our five copies? While you’re waiting for your hold to come in, try the biography Jeff Kinney by Megan Gunderson. Haven’t started the series yet? What are you waiting for?  There’s no time like the present (though the past and the future are similar). We’ve got multiple copies of all the titles: Greg Heffley’s Journal, Rodrick Rules, The Last Straw, Dog Days and The Ugly Truth.  So come on down and visit us at our temporary digs in Town Hall (83 Mountain Road).

Suffield Camera Club meets Nov. 15

The 6:30 meeting will again be held at the Suffield Senior Center Dining Room due to renovation at KML.

November's theme is "Autumn" or macro close-ups. Remember, 3 picture maximum for Theme. Any additional pictures you wish to provide can be added in the Photos / a Links section on the website.

Paul Osgood will discuss digital images sizes. This includes pixels, megapixels, pixels per inch (ppi) Dots per inch (dpi). These items determine how large on image can be printed or displayed on a PC without being considered pixilated and fuzzy.u

Immediately following we will be showing the Theme pictures with comments. Then a 15 minute break so members can have informal discussions with each other.

Finally, Paul Osgood will demo the use of Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) for initial steps in editing a photo. ACR is included in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements and Lightroom and allows you to crop, adjust white balance (color temperature), exposure, contrast and make other changes prior to printing an image or posting it on the web.

Library has reopened

It has been a long week.  We hope all Suffield residents have been safe and warm through this crisis.  The Library has reopened!  Now you have something to do while the schools are closed for one more day.  Come on down.
