Renovation of the Computer Lab

Posted by Beth on Tuesday, Nov 28, 2017

Starting this week ICPL's second floor Computer Lab will be closed for renovation. The Lab was originally designed as a computer classroom, and it served us well. Over time technology and community needs change, so we are reconfiguring the space to allow for more flexibility and innovation.

The new space will support training and programs and provide access to technology to assist in digital media creation. The footprint of the room will grow, as walls are being moved. The furniture will be movable, and a new large screen monitor will add additional options for display. Some activities (Minecraft, tax assistance) will continue to use the entire space, but at other times the room can be used for multiple activities at once. The new space will be open in late February.

While the room is under construction, we've had to relocate all of the regularly scheduled classes and events that happen in that room. The majority of events, like our Drop-in Tech Help sessions (Monday-Thursday) the Community Writing Center (Tuesdays) will be moved down the hall to Meeting Room E, while other events (VITA Tax Help) have relocated to other places in the building. The Library's Calendar will list the updated locations, and Staff at the Help or Information Desks can help you find the right rooms.

We look forward to our new Computer Lab and hope you do to.

Where you'll see me in the library:  I work at the Information Desk, the Help Desk and in the Digital Media Lab during Drop-in Tech Help. I teach some of the Genealogy workshops and I'll be at most of the Library Events & Programs for adults too, so I'm pretty much everywhere.

  • Shoot for the moon : the space race and the extraordinary voyage of Apollo 11

    by Jim Donovan

    Science

    "When the alarm went off forty thousand feet above the moon's surface, both astronauts looked down at me computer to see 1202 flashing on the readout. Neither of them knew what it meant, and time was running out... On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon. One of the world's greatest technological achievements--and a triumph of American spirit and ingenuity--the Apollo 11 mission was a mammoth undertaking involving more than 410,000 men and women dedicated to winning the space race against the Soviets. Set amid the tensions of the Cold War and the upheavals of the sixties, and filled with first-person, behind-the-scenes details, [this] is a gripping account of the dangers, the challenges, and the sheer determination that defined not only Apollo 11, but also the Mercury and Gemini missions that came before it. From the shock of Sputnik and the heart-stopping final minutes of John Glenn's Mercury flight to the deadly whirligig of Gemini 8, the doomed Apollo 1 mission, and that perilous landing on the Sea of Tranquility--when the entire world held its breath while Armstrong and Aldrin battled computer alarms, low fuel, and other problems--James Donovan tells the whole story. Both sweeping and intimate, Shoot for the Moon is 'a powerfully written and irresistible celebration' (Booklist, starred review) of one of humankind's most extraordinary feats of exploration."--Dust jacket.
