Going faster

If you have used the Library's computers lately, you may have noticed they seem to be accessing sites faster. It isn't your eyes; they really are speeding up because the Library's connection was switched from DSL to fiber this week. We've definitely noticed the change when using the checkout software. Before we had to wait on the computer to send the info between each book. Now the computer is waiting on us to wand the next book. Definitely makes the staff's job easier and saves your time waiting in line.

Our circulation numbers are moving fast also with the summer reading program in full swing. It's not unusual to check out 1000 items a day during the peak of the summer.

One thing that's not moving as fast as we would like is the repair of our air conditioner. The main compressor burned out May 29 and we are still waiting for a replacement. The Library staff are probably the only people in town who have been thankful for this week's cool weather. With luck the new compressor will come yet this week.
