I thought I'd share this national TV spot about busy libraries nationwide. Check it out:

Gates Grant Payment
This week we received a check for $5,850 from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The money is to be used to improve public access to the Internet via technology upgrades. I estimate over the next two year that we will install 5 new public Internet PCs and printers, 3 in 2009 and 2 more in 2010. They will have 17" monitors for maximum visibility and be perfect for computer classes for beginners. The funding will also be used to expand and improve our network and install software that allows the staff to manage our public PCs efficiently.
In other news, I was inspired by 2 Friends holiday season fundraising efforts made possible by our talented, dedicated staff. The Reader's Roast coffee has been selling very well at $10 per pound. Also, the River Edge Pet Calendar has been a big hit with 85 sold already. I have to admire the efforts of the staff in selling these products at the Circulation Desk, as well as the creativity of Jennifer & Laura in developing them.
