Public
Computers Have Been
Color Coded and Customized!
Library Blog
Offers Feedback Opportunity
Library patrons can see at a glance which public computers meet their library needs. New color-coded computer monitor labels show which computers are restricted to the library’s website and which have full Internet access. Because fewer computers have full access beginning September 8, 2008, time restrictions will be in effect. Please see New Computer Profiles and this questions and answers page for further information.
David Clapp, our director, is currently discussing information regarding public librarianship and computer access in his blog, Director's Remarks. There is opportunity for feedback there for anyone who would like to comment.
