Turn Off, Tune In, Turn On

Starting tomorrow, the Albany Library joins people across the country in celebrating Turnoff Week. One week a year, families are encouraged to leave the TV off, step away from the computer, put away the Blackberry, and turn our attention to the unplugged world. We’ll be offering a family game night on Tuesday, April 22, to help Albany families enjoy the technology-free week. Children and teens can enter contests in which they write an essay or draw a picture to illustrate this year’s theme, “Power Down, Dream Big.” Will your family be participating? Why or why not?
