We are installing new PC Reservation software in our Internet labs at the Central Library this week. Parts of the Adult lab are down through Thursday, but the good news is that we will be able to offer PRINTING again! Yay!
We went through an awful 3 months where our printing went down due to a virus attack and ongoing problems with our printing software interface. I know how frustrated our library patrons were - we had this weird work around that we cobbled together where you had to save things to a flash drive, go to the Children's department, etc..
I know it was driving everyone crazy - our staff, members of the public, everyone. I know how much I hated the situation, so I can only imagine how awful it was for people who depend on our system and computers.
I am so EXCITED that we are able to get this fixed - the change took us a while, but I know that the changes we are making ARE GOOD ONES. Printing will be easier, it will be cheaper and it will be better. (Prints and copies will be 15 cents for BW, 50 cents for color) Time management on the computers will be easier, for everyone, and the new software is much more flexible and robust, so we should have greater stability in our lab. ALL GOOD.
I just want to say thank you to everyone for their patience - the wait is almost over. Just a few more days...
