We've
purchased new software to manage the public computers and printing.
Scheduled to be installed in all five libraries, it will be implemented
mid-June. Anyone wishing to use a public computer
will need to use their library card to reserve or log in to a public
computer. Residents are required to have their library card in hand
since the barcode will be required. If you don't have a library card yet,
today is a good day to apply for one! Visitors from out of the area may
obtain a guest pass good for one day upon showing a photo ID.
Time
limits will apply. Computer users will be limited to 180 minutes per day
in 60 minute increments. If no one is waiting for a computer, time may be
extended. Anyone who vacates a computer for more than 5 minutes will
forfeit their place at the computer if someone else is waiting. Limit one
person per computer due to space limitations unless granted permission by
staff.
LPT:One
software will manage printing. Once a patron selects a page to be printed,
it will reside in a print queue until paid for and retrieved by staff for
printing. Laptop users will be able to access the library's printer using
LPT:One.
EnvisionWare's
PCReservation and LPT:One software has been partially funded by a Library
Services and Technology Grant administered by the Mississippi Library
Commission. Lincoln Lawrence Franklin Regional Library complies with CIPA
(Children's Internet Protection Act).
John
H. Williams, a photographer and proprietor of the Art Studio in
Brookhaven, Mississippi, spent many years taking pictures of buildings,
people, and activities in this community. The majority of photographs and
negatives in the collection are from 1946-1970. Included are pictures of
local community buildings, schools and school groups, churches and church
groups, and weddings. Also included are some early oilfield, logging, and
Stahl-Urban pictures. An extensive number of items are portraits of local
individuals and family groups. These photographs are an outstanding memory
of the citizens of Southwest Mississippi--depicting faces and special
moments in their lives
Funded
by a federal Library Services and Technology Act grant, new computers and
software have been purchased in order to scan and digitize some of
the thousands of photographic negatives in the John Williams Collection,
owned by Lincoln-Lawrence-Franklin Regional Library. To date, 2,025+
negatives have been scanned and stored in digital format. A separate grant
allowed 200 photographs to be digitized for the library. The library
staff is working to upload the images to Flickr
for public access. If you
would like to conduct research in the collection, please contact us at libraryinfo@llf.lib.ms.us
to schedule access.
The next meeting of Friends
of the Lincoln County Library is Thursday, May
3rd at 1:30 in the Meeting Room of the Brookhaven-Lincoln
County Public Library. We need everyone to be present to assist in the
evaluation of the National Library Week activities and to plan
upcoming events.
