Kill A Watt electricity usage monitors are now available for checkout at the Troy Public Library. These handy devices allow you to evaluate the efficiency of your electrical appliances. Simply plug one into an outlet and your appliance into the Kill A Watt monitor. A full instruction sheet comes with each kit.

The Kill A Watt monitors may be checked out for three weeks. They are not renewable, but you may place a hold on them. Search Kill A Watt (remember to include the spaces) in the Library Catalog to see if any are currently available, or to place a hold if all are checked out.

To check out a Kill A Watt, ask at the Circulation Desk. Find out just how efficient your appliances really are.

Welcome spring with the final concert of the Troy Public Library's Sunday Series featuring the chamber music repertoire and warmly blended sound of the Adventure Club Cello Quartet. This ensemble is comprised of four area cellists: Naomi Levine, David Levine, Irina Tichkhonova and Debra Shuster. While several of the performers have delighted Library audiences at previous Sunday Afternoons with the Arts events, this is their first visit as a grouping of four cellists.

The performance is free of charge and sponsored by the Friends of Troy Public Library. Go to the Library's program calendar to register beginning March 15.
