What's up: This week I have been busy with computer installation, loading programs and troubleshooting four new, two old, and two old revitalized computers. We have two new computers at our circulation desks upstairs and down and two new public access computers. Two of the old computers are in the “shop” being erased and getting Windows installed on them so that they can be used as catalog computers. We will give the other computers away. But I spent an inordinate amount of time reloading programs and reinstalling hardware. The worst thing that happened was that our accounting program was wiped out so all of the work I had done since the last back up, on May 7th, was gone. I had to reenter the information. It didn’t take so long, though. Next week the computer guy will be back and finish installing everything. People have been very patient with the glitches we have encountered.
Online link of the day: How Stuff Works is a cool site that tells all about how stuff works.
Recommended book: No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeod is a wonderful rousing book about Scottish immigrants in Cape Breton. The family MacDonald is close knit and a little wild. I found the story extremely interesting because my grandmother’s mother was a MacDonald from Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I read the book a few years after we visited Cape Breton and it brought back that majestic landscape beautifully.
Coming events at the library: Sing-up for the summer reading program begins June 16th.
