Wednesday Word of the Day - Blandishment
noun | blan-​dish-​ment

"something that tends to coax or cajole - often used in plural"

The librarian offered many blandishments, including the promise of free access to eBooks and eAudiobooks, the ability to borrow at our micro-library branches, as well as a snazzy green library card, to convince community members to join the library.

What blandishments have worked (or not worked!) to convince you to do something?

In case you missed it - drop your tech questions below!

📻 Calling All Albany Tech Lovers! 🎶

Got a burning technology question? Want to hear your voice or story on the airwaves? Now is your chance!

MITE, the Perth-based live online radio station that perfectly blends great music with tech info, is dedicated an upcoming weekday Q&A session entirely to the Albany community!

Every weekday from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM, MITE hosts a live Q&A, and they want to feature your tech questions, dilemmas, and funny anecdotes.

We are collecting questions to send their way! You can share your tech queries with the library in two ways:
Text: Write it down and send it over.
Voice Note: Record your question so they can play your voice on air!

Bonus points: Don't forget to include your favourite song or band with your question! The MITE crew will weave your music requests straight into the program.

Drop your questions, voice notes, and song requests in the comments below, send us a direct message, or shoot an email straight to the library.

Let's show Perth what Albany's tech community is made of! 👇
