From the Intern:
I’ve been busy lately with school and college related things, so I haven’t been able to post as many games, comics, or animations as I’d like to. >_<
But there’s still something new!
Just who are the DeRoze Comics characters? I have released a new page about who they are, who supplies the voices for them (in animations), and pictures. I’ve also added a little bit about myself! ^_^
This month's releases:
I hope you enjoy them!

Did you know?
We have Rosetta Stone Language Programs!
Have you ever wanted to learn German? Need to brush up on that Spanish for a big test? Is your Italian relative coming to visit? If you said yes to any of these questions, then come over to the Bancroft Memorial Library and use the Rosetta Stone Language Programs!
We have two discs for Italian and German, and three discs for Spanish!
Best of all, it's free! Just sign in at the front desk!

For Next Month...
Hi everyone!
Hopefully, the wireless will be ready soon. We did have it at one point, but it interfered with the printer. Soon, hopefully!!
Also, I'll focus on making some better graphics for the November edition. I was just pressed for time this month.
Hope you're all still enjoying these!
See you next month! ^_^
