The Macs Come Marching In...

apple
Apple computers will arrive at select library locations very soon! You heard me/read me right.

Find the shiny new beautiful hip slick chic amazing iMacs at:
  • Dublin Branch Library
  • Main Library
  • Reynoldsburg Branch Library
  • South high Branch Library
Your feedback helped us to determine the locations. Once they're installed and you get a chance to use them, please let us know what you think of iMacs; IRL or here on the blog.

And speaking of Apple products...
Guess what? Our digital books & media are now compatible with iPods!!! WOOT! But there's a small catch: you've got to turn off your iPod's auto-sync function in order to get it to work.

Now get out there and start enjoying all of this and more...the library has so much to offer you! Bye for now from the land where the library hearts Apple products.

History is Made


It happened. America elected its first African American President. I wonder what kind of impact this will make on our nation, on our world. Regardless of whether you agree with Obama on any or all issues, you gotta admit: this is a BIG DEAL.

I am trying to picture myself as a little kid right now -- how would growing up with a black president impact me?

I am also thinking of our grandparents and great grandparents -- those who grew up in a more racist society. What is going through their minds today?

What about Barack & Michelle's daughters, Sasha and Malia? What must they be thinking? Is it the macro stuff running through their brain (Holy crap! My dad is the President elect!)? Or are they thinking more micro (Which room in the White House will be mine? I hope I like my new school!).

And of course, what do YOU think about it? What's going through your brain as history is made?
