Extra USB Drives to the Rescue!

When you log in to one of the Library's public computers using your library barcode, you are assigned a temporary drive on the Library's network. This drive, known as the Patron "H" Drive, is a handy place to store your documents, photos, and files on a temporary basis. In order to serve you well, we need to keep our network operating at top capacity, and storing large amounts of patron data (including, for example, memory-eating image files) can bog things down. So we need to clean out the Patron H Drive on a regular basis. In response to your requests for a regular schedule for this monthly cleanup, we've chosen the last Thursday of each month as the day to clean house, so to speak. If this monthly cleanup has you shaking in your boots, don't worry. We recently purchased five additional high-capacity USB or "flash" drives, making for a total of 10 drives in circulation that may be borrowed free of charge. (These are in addition to the floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs we already have available for sale.) The SanDisk Cruzer drives can each hold up to 512 MB of data, and they come in a sturdy titanium shell that protects your files during transit from the Library to your home or workplace. We invite you to check out one of these drives so you can discover how convenient and easy they are to use. Simply click here to reserve a flash drive today.
