Learn to Use Patch at the Library on Wednesday
No registration required. Swing by the Melrose Public Library's Trustees Room anytime between 10 a.m. and noon on Wednesday, March 28 and Patch editors will show you how to get the most of Patch.
Everyone knows that Patch is more than a daily online news site—it's a 21st century town square where everyone in the community can share their news, events and connect with their neighbors.
Still unsure how to do all that? We're holding a free 'Patch Academy' on Wednesday, March 28 from 10 a.m.-noon at the Melrose Public Library, 69 West Emerson St., upstairs in the Trustees Room.
This isn't a formal class, but simply an open house where you can drop in anytime. No registration is required, but if you know you're coming, feel free to fill out the form above so we can make sure to have enough pastries and coffee on hand. (That's right, free pastries and coffee!)
