Public Computers are Back Online!

All of the library’s public computers are back up and working fine. And better yet, it’s easier to log in than ever before. If any computer is open, you can walk right up and sign up at it without needing a ticket or to sign up anywhere else. All you need is your library card number, and a password that you create yourself the first time you log in. New Kiosk computers manage logins and show the time remaining if all the computers are full.

Our staff will be happy to offer assistance or answer any questions you have regarding the new system, and we’re eager to let everyone enjoy the more streamlined access that we now offer.

All Public Computers will be Offline this Wednesday

The software upgrade we’ve been promising you is ready to be installed, and we’ll be doing so this Wednesday the 24th. Unfortunately, this does mean our public access computers will be offline for the day while we do the installation. They’ll be back on Thursday, and getting onto a computer should be faster and easier than ever after that. Access will be based through your library card, so remember to bring it with you if you’re coming to log in and use the Internet. If you have any questions at all, our staff will be happy to explain or help however we can.  Thanks!

A Literary Map to Maine

The Maine Sunday Telegram, in conjunction with many library and humanities groups within Maine, have crafted a wonderful resource for us all. They have created a literary map to Maine that connects many books set in Maine to the spots that inspired the author. It’s a fresh way to connect with and explore some of your favorite local stories, go ahead and take a look for yourself:

Saturday hours returning in September

We’re pleased to announce that beginning in September the Walker Library will be opening on Saturdays once again. The library will be open between 10 AM – 5 PM on each Saturday. So drop on by, we look forward to sharing the weekend with you.

New Service for Cyclists

It’s the perfect time to get out and enjoy what’s left of the summer, and we’ve just begun a new service to help. In addition to having a bicycle rack right outside the library, we now have bicycle locks available to be checked out for the duration of your visit. Just bring your card to the Circulation desk and we’ll be happy to lend you a lock. So next time you go out for a ride, stop by for a visit and head home with some books or movies to enjoy. We look forward to seeing you.
