The needs and requirements of technology are constantly changing, due to this phenomenon, equipment becomes obsolete very quickly. The library has accumulated a large assortment of outdated equipment in the basement over the years that needs to be dealt with. We are giving the public the opportunity to purchase some of this equipment through a silent auction. The auction began on September 15 and will run through the 29th. Bids will close on the 29th and all purchases need to be picked up by 8:00 pm on the 30th. Those items not picked up will sold to the next highest bidder or recycled. All items are sold as is. Two of the computers will need operating systems installed as the plan is to wipe them to protect information. Items may be viewed at the library during normal operating hours or pictures are available at the City office. Bid sheets may be found on the reference table in the library. Bidders must be 18 years of age or older.
Reminder, we will hold a Brown Bag lunch on Friday, September 19, 2014. Laura McDougall from the Four Corners Health Department will be here to talk about emergency preparedness. Laura has been working closely with the residents of Beaver Crossing in the aftermath of the tornado that hit their town earlier this year and will share tips and ideas on how to be prepared for any emergency. Have a suggestion or idea for future Brown Bag Lunches or programs? Leave us a suggestion in the suggestion box, or talk with one of the librarians.
