Milton Public Library, located at the Milton Town
Office. Their Website is http://www.miltonlibraryvt.org.
I had some time to wait before Meghan was ready for me to
talk to her. So I wondered around in the library to see what I could find. I
have been here before many times but never to use their technology since I
always brought mine. So there are three computers that are just for kids who
are 7 to 16 years old. There are 5
more computers for people 17 years old and older. They have a time limit of
30mins if people are waiting. If there is no one waiting for the computers then
they isn’t a time limit. This goes for both sets of computers. There are also a
couple of computers attached to the sides of bookcases. Those ones are so
patrons can search for certain books in this library and other libraries in the
state. (The OPAC computers Meghan called them.) Also helps locate them in this
library. I have used them before to locate and search for books. Then I know there
are a lot of wall plugs ins around the library for people to use to plug in
their computers. There is also WIFI here. That is what I noticed when looking
for their technology here. And of course they have their own computers at the
front desk.
While I was waiting for Meghan, I had to look at their
books, bad Idea. Now I have more books that I want to read… Ended up pulling my
self away from the books to start typing up notes of what there was for tech.
Some of the questions I can answer my self because I can see
them.
The furniture they had for the technology where tables that
have plugs and cords all attached to them in the middle of the floor that hold
the computers. There are two of them, the three teen computers then the other
five for the adults like I was talking about before. The adult computers are by
the circulation desk and the teen ones are in the middle of the library. There
are printers that can be used for .20 per black and white copy then for color
.50. Found out later on that they do have some scanning capabilities as well.
That is about all I got from waiting. Surprisingly it was really busy when I
came in that day. It took her about 15mins after the set time to come over and
talk with me. When I told her I was there she was going to come right over but I
told her to take her time that I would be fine. She said thank you and finished
off her work and help some people before she came over. I forgot to take
pictures of the library so hopefully my next post I will have some to show you
guys! For now here is a picture I found on Google.com images of the front of
the building.
