Display Cases
Bridget Peek has installed her prints and greeting cards in the display cases. They are all for sale. If someone would like to buy one, please call me or Pat. All the prints are $20. The cards are $5 or $6 each. [They can be taken out of the display case as there are multiple copies available.]

PUG MidAtlantic
Just wanted to let everyone know that so far 82 people have signed up for the Polaris User's Group (PUG) in Hershey on Fri. April 3. It should be an exciting day for all PUGsters (Polarians?). We'll all learn some new tricks and meet some great people.
THANK YOU SO MUCH to those who offered to cover circ time for those attending.

One-To-One Computer Classes
As you may have noticed, Pete Thurlow has reduced his availability for computer classes until the beginning of May. Bob Baker has graciously agreed to add two classes on Tuesday mornings at the end of April to help out. If you find that you cannot accomodate students in a reasonably timely fashion, please let me know. We are searching for additional volunteers.
Thanks, M.E.

More wireless notes
The wireless connection for the racetrack table and opacs has been restored. The wireless router lost its connection with BPL, so everything is back on Linksys until he can reconfigure the router again.
All public questions for wireless connections remains the same---they should use BPL network, the problem is the wireless router in the Fiction wing only.

Lost Wallet
A patron left his wallet in the YA computer area on Friday. His id is in the wallet. We looked for him today, but did not find him. Also he left a Nuevo Testamento with his wallet. I asked a patron with a similar name if it was his today, but it was not. MH 3-14-09

Wireless is good
Jim has the wireless up and running, and should be seamless throughout the library. People should be able to connect with any operating system. However the new wireless name is "BPL" not LinkSys. In the community room you will now connect to "BPL--training" to be used for the training laptops, etc.
If people complain--make sure they are connecting to BPL! Also, it does take a moment or two to connect--it's never instantaneous.

Ciao!
Italian books were ordered for nine year old girl learning Italian. The ILL team got the books through Newark and all of the books are ready for la giovane donna. I called to let her know they are available. The books are currently in the Youth Services office with her name on them.
Arrivederci,

wireless is haywire (or nay-wire)
Jim installed 3 new wireless routers in the library on Tuesday, but they are not working right. The signal is excellent, but the computers don't know what to do with it--especially laptops using Vista. Sometimes we have wireless, sometimes not. Jim will be in Monday with a wireless guy to try to solve the problem. Apparently they are very tricky to configure. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Cubby computer--alert me of problems
I am taking the cubby computer off of Jim's list for now. See if you can get it to freeze when Polaris is off, let me know what exactly you were doing to get it to freeze, error messages, etc. If Polaris is on, still let me know exactly what you were doing, etc.
Jim is stumped and blames Polaris, and Polaris says it ain't them. I personally think the computer is getting ready to roll over and die. Hopefully it is still under warranty.

Book News and More blog added to Polaris dashboards
I added Evelyn's Book News and More blog to the Polaris dashboard. Besides being totally cool, and hopefully soon-to-be-award-winning, it will add a nice reader's advisory spin. Look for it at the top of the dashboard on the left -- on the first page of the Polaris catalog! RB
