Numerous patrons came in looking for Word Processing and the Internet for school assignments. The Cybrary Q was filled starting around 4 and was in constant use all night long. Because of the Gates computers many students and patrons were able to complete their assignments and searches on the computers. The Laptops really helped us out! We could use a few in the Children’s Area!
