FAIRHOPE, Ala. — Page & Palette will host author Abby Stokes at the Fairhope Public Library today, April 29, from 2–4 p.m.

She will discuss her book "Is This Thing On?," a reassuring, jargon-free, nuts-and-bolts guide that introduces late bloomers, grandparents, technophobes and the digitally challenged to all the wonders of using a computer.

If you are someone who relies on someone born in the 1990s (or later) to help with the Internet and digital photos, "Is This Thing On?" would be a valuable book for you!

Stokes also provides a helpful chapter on cell phones, iPods, and BlackBerries.

The author will exclusively sign all books purchased from Page & Palette.
