Events in English Mexico City MARCH 2013

Hi English Language Speakers and Teachers,
Anglo Library Patrons and Friends

Does this newsletter arrive with blank lines between text lines, or with lines broken up?

The problem is with your email program. This newsletter is written with no blank lines between text lines, only between paragraphs. When it is sent out I receive a copy to a Yahoo account and another to a Gmail account. In Yahoo it looks great, but in Gmail there are blank lines everywhere and also some single lines broken into two lines.

I suggest you copy the text and then paste or drag it into your text processor — it will look a lot better. Also if you select “Arial”, the font in which it is written.

If you have visited me at the Anglo Library you know that my favorite text processor is EditPad-Lite, a free download with no strings attached:
http://www.editpadlite.com/download.html

Visit me on Saturdays at the Anglo Library and I will show you why I am such a fan of this software. Bring a USB thumb-drive and we can install it so that it works from the thumb-drive — this is a free service.

I am at the Anglo Library every Saturday except when sick or out of town. Email me during the week or call on Saturday to confirm that I´m here — 3067 8817. I can accomodate your schedule 10:30am to 3pm.

The Anglo Library is open to the public with no entry charge. For $200.pesos per year you become a member with borrowing privileges.

Please consider donating your English language books and audio-books to our library . Bring in five, in good condition, to Atenas the chief librarian, and get a one year membership for free. Call to confirm she will be there — 3067 8817.

The Anglo Library is closed all of Easter week, 25-31 March.

See you at the Anglo.
