Your library goes Apple!
Yes, it's true! The library will be introducing Mac computers (iMacs, MacPros and MacBooks) to both Thode and Mills Library! Not familiar with Macs? All Macs will have dual bootup, which means you can work in a Windows environment. For full details, check out our blog post.

Apple is good, I will no longer be using Microsoft myself. I guess the library and I have the same intentions.

Whoaa! That's sick! Our school had a small apple library, 10 computers or so, and I have to say, it was the best looking part of the ENTIRE school.

We're hoping September but a definitive date can't be given as it depends on a number of circumstances at this point (ie. Thode renovation). I'll try to keep you posted on the progress.

i'm not sure - i'll look into it for you. the numbers of computers are noted in the blog posting and in daily news. presumably, they'll arrive together, or close to it. the next step would be the installation, which will take time to do. so while it may at first appear sort of piecemeal, it should all come together in the end.
