First Floor Facelift: New Computer Table Installed

Thanks to a generous donation from the Lake Bluff Public Library Foundation, last week, the Library installed a brand new computer table to support adult computer users on the first floor of the building. Kathy Meierhoff, President of the Lake Bluff Public Library Foundation, says "The Lake Bluff Library Foundation is delighted to underwrite  the cost of the computer table for the  public access computer center.  Not only is this an update in furnishing and technology, it is an important improvement in both access and security for our community.
