Library Newsletter - April 2018
Spotlight on Charging Stations
The library has three new charging stations to provide more options for you. Study at the charging tables or plug into the wall station while you relax on a couch. Our new stations are equipped with iPhone, Micro USB, Type C, USB cables, and standard outlets.
You can still check out cables for the other charging stations located by the computers and study carrels. Power up your devices while you power up your mind in the library.
