Discover Michigan with Ron Rademacher
by Jennifer Osborne 14 Sep '16

14 Sep '16

Hi everyone, We just had Ron Rademacher, author of the *Michigan Backroads* books, back for his final program in a three-part series. His programs were some of our best attended of the summer and many members of the audience were here for the third time. One gentleman even mentioned that Ron was so entertaining, he'd sit through the same three programs all over again. If you're looking for programs that focus on fun things to do right here in our own state, I'd highly recommend Ron. His presentations feature beautiful photography, historical information, and humorous anecdotes. His prices are very reasonable, as well. His website is http://www.michiganbackroads.com/ and he can be reached at ron(a)michiganbackroads.com. Warm regards, Jennifer Osborne Head of Adult Services Brighton District Library 810-229-6571 x225 josborne(a)brightonlibrary.info

Doing Away With Computer Towers?!
by Kelli Lovasz 14 Sep '16

14 Sep '16

We are in the process of revamping and updating our patron computers. One of the options we are looking at is doing away with the towers and going to a " Session Based Remote Desktop Infrastructure". Basically, it's putting all the computers on a remote server and handling everything from there instead of each individual tower. Has anyone done this, or know anyone who has? We are doing a trial with some borrowed equipment, but I would love real-world knowledge.
