From einblatt-list@mnstf.org Thu Mar 3 14:50:20 2022 Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2022 12:50:15 -0800 From: Einblatt Subject: Einblatt Current (March 2022) Oh look it's March. Hello and welcome to the March of 2022 Einblatt Spectacular. I got a new keyboard and I'm still getting used to how it feels, so typos may be abound. I'd like to also like to make a short PSA that if you want a keyboard with keys that click, the word you're looking for is 'tactile.' My keys don't click and it feels really weird. Alright let's get to announcements: Pat Zietlow Miller and Eliza Wheeler, WHEN I'M WITH YOU - Virtual Storytime Event!
