If you visit our CyberSpot and use our public access computers, you may have noticed a couple of changes, the most obvious of which is the installation of 12 new systems with wide screen displays.  They've replaced the oldest computers in that area and are much faster than their predecessors.

While faster and better looking computers are very welcome additions, they're only as good as the software that runs on them.  So while we were at it, we upgraded whatever software we could and also took the opportunity to install some new applications that we hope appeal to your creative side.  Of course, we still have the usual productivity software such as Microsoft Office, but now there's also a folder on the Desktop named Creativity Sandbox (see below).  In it you'll find shortcuts to some pretty slick applications.  While Library staff may not be familiar with them and be able to provide help in their use, they're fairly easy to use and we hope you take the time to explore them on your own.

As we move forward, we'll be sure to add other software packages, so by all means, if you'd like to recommend any in particular, be sure to write me and let me know about them.  And by the way, it helps if they're free, as these are!
