New web computers can be found at Central Library's Computer Lab. Unfortunately, the new computers are teamed with some old cables and not all is well in the Lab. Periodic outages of PCs or printing in the Lab - LCPL's IT staff is working with the computer company, Groovix, to get everything working.
Meanwhile, there are 15 computers available near the Reference Desk at Central and all of our branches have web access as well.
Thanks for your patience!

Sign Up for Library Programs Online
Now Library Users can quickly & easily view & register for Library Programs using any computer! View the Multi-Branch Events by going to http://www.lcplin.org/calendar.htm.
Can't remember the link? See the Library's homepage at http://www.lcplin.org/ and look to the upper right corner where you'll see "Library Events". This "Library Events" link can be found in the same place on many of the Library's webpages.
Is the calendar too cluttered? You can click on and open the "Search Slider" and choose to see only programs from certain locations or you can choose to see certain types of events. Under Event Types, you can narrow your search by audience or by topic.
Some of the programs are underlined on the calendar and some are not. You can place your mouse over a program name, or hover with your mouse, and find out more details. Underlined programs are taking place in rooms with limited seating so we are asking for your help in registering for these popular programs. Click on the link--the program on the calendar--and you will see program details and as you scroll down, where you can sign up for the program.
As an added bonus, if you place an email address in your program registration, you will be emailed with details of the program you signed up for. Days before the event, you will also be reminded of the program coming up! How cool is that!
Our interactive calendar is new to us as it is to you. If you have questions, please let any library staff member know & we will be happy to assist you!
Enjoy!

On Thankfulness
First, I am thankful that all locations of the Lake County Public Library will be closed so that our staff can celebrate Thanksgiving with family. Bookdrops and videodrops are available on Thursday, November 26, 2009.
Second, I am thankful that all locations of the Lake County Public Library will be open regular hours on Wednesday, November 25th, and on Friday, November 27th. On Friday, after I am finished shopping by 8 a.m., I can continue on to work.
I am always thankful for all of our patrons who ask us such a variety of questions. We are happy to help you find the answers whether those answers be in book, online electronic database, journal article or compact disc. Keep those questions coming!
Wishing you and yours a peaceful Thanksgiving!

Not to be forgotten, we've tracked down photographs from the St. John Branch Library Open House which was held in December of 2005. These pictures are now posted on the Library's Flickr photoshare. Enjoy!
What started all of this?? It was St. John's request for photos so they could spruce up their Twitter listing. Follow all the latest St. John Library news on Twitter!
