Tax Form Assistance
AARP is again providing
assistance in filling out tax forms at the
Jonesborough and Gray Libraries. The
program begins in February. The AARP
assistance is for taxpayers with a fairly
simple return so if you have a lot of
itemizations and complicated finances this
program is not for you.
In
Jonesborough the preparers will be there on
each Saturday and Monday that the library is
open until April 14. In Jonesborough,
you must come by the library to make an
appointment and to pick up the form you need
to fill in before your appointment.
The program will begin at the Gray Library
on Wednesdays beginning February 1. To
make an appointment in Gray, call 477-1550
or visit the library. If you call to make
your appointment in Gray you will still have
to go to the library to pick up the forms to
have them filled out before your appointment
date.

Tuesday Night @ the
Movies
Come to the Jonesborough
Library on Tuesday, February 7 at 5:30 p.m.
and enjoy a vicarious visit to the magical
Scottish village that appears only once
every 100 years.
Gene Kelly and Van Johnson, two New Yorkers
on a hunting vacation, stumble into the
village. But what Tommy (Kelly) actually
bags is the heart of bonny Scottish lass,
Fiona, played by Cyd Charisse. There is a
catch: if Tommy stays, he gives up
everything including his fiancé back home;
if Fiona leaves, Brigadoon will vanish into
the highland mist, never to be seen again.
This Lerner-Lowe musical is directed by
Vincente Minnelli. As Kelly and Charisse
dance they weave a magic all their own and
make you wish you could be there in the
“Heather on the Hill.”
The
presentation of our movie is sponsored by
the Friends of the Washington County Library
and is free and open to the public.
