Monroe Library goes wireless

“The Sno-Isle Regional Library System’s Monroe branch just got hipper.”

“Not only was it built last year in a postmodern fashion to attract more students to learning, the library is using remaining bond funds to jump ahead of other branches — this time with four new wireless and keyboardless computers.”

“For 14-year-old Leslie Lance, the ViewPad 1000 by ViewSonic means freedom. No longer is Lance stuck sitting at a computer table, staring down at a keyboard and screen. Instead, she can tuck the notebook-size screen under her arm, walk through the stacks to grab a book, then relax in one of the library’s comfortable chairs with the computer on her lap.” (from The Seattle Times)
