We have received two new computers thanks to our participation in a program run by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and facilitated by CEF. Both are welcome additions to the public access computers in our main area upstairs. We now have four internet ready computers available to the public, which together with the wireless access available throughout the library help meet needs of the community. Local residents as well as vacationers come in on a regular basis and we are pleased with the number of people using our internet access services. Please stop by any time.
Thanks to Dan Gould for helping with the setup and other technical aspects of getting these up and running.
In addition to the new computers, Dan has also upgraded the hard drives in the other two computers. We have also converted our “Office” software from the 2003 version to the 2007 version, which is being used by the local schools. This will allow students who don’t have access to this software at home to work on projects here at the library.
