On-Line Legal Research and More!
WEDNESDAY  November 4, 2009  (1:00-3:00 p.m.)

Presenter: June Mac Leod, Law Librarian at Thomas Jefferson School of Law
Learn how to do basic legal research on the internet. This class, originally designed for lawyers and law students, is an overview of internet search tools, general reference sites, people and company finder sites, and free web sites that provide sources such as cases, statutes and legislation on both California and Federal levels. In addition, your instructor has included a special presentation of internet sites that will provide fun, informative and educational information that is non-legal. This part of the presentation will showcase some history and museum sites, news media sites and fun sites like ones for genealogy, atomic clocks, and a currency converter.

Fa La La Holiday Music with The Monettes
WEDNESDAY    December 2, 2009  (1:00-3:00 p.m.)

The Monettes invite you for a varied program of holiday music.  Join in on O Holy Night, The First Noel, Happy Holiday, Grandma's Killer Fruitcake and Rudolph's Ragtime Razza-ma-tazz, and more.  The Monettes have been the local 'voice' of the California Women's Chorus for over forty years. Director Barbara Hoeschen always welcomes new voices to the chorus and promises a Ho-Ho-Ho Holiday Hoedown performance. Class fully underwritten by the Pt. Loma Friends of the Library.

Morocco: Picturesque and Culturally Rich
WEDNESDAY  December 9, 2009  (1:00-3:00 p.m.)
Presenters: Bev Grant & Art Cooley

Visit a wide range of Maroc from Tangier in the north, Erfoud at the edge of the Saharan Desert, Fez, Marrakech, the Rif Mountains in the northeast and the High Atlas in the south. There's much to be learned about the culture of Morocco. This photographic journey and "story" will highlight a variety of peoples and places. Adventurous audience members will be asked to "model" some of the various costumes/native dress of Moroccans and to discuss Muslim (Sunni) culture.  Observe the colors, the markets, the terrains with Bev Grant and Art Cooley...as we all explore the world of Paul Bowles' "Sheltering Sky" in Fez and the Oscar winning movie "Babel" filmed in Ouarzazate. This is a tempting, exotic culture and people that are not to be missed.

All Oasis classes are underwritten by Friends of the Point Loma Library
