Annual Waterford Community Christmas, Caroling, and Tree Lighting Returns
Sat. December 11th from 4-5pm with books for children and special guest - SANTA!
Many thanks to all the Elves for their help in making Christmas Merry and Bright
ITDRC GRANT
Our entire WiFi system was just updated thanks to a grant from projectConnect (ITDRC) Information Technology Disaster Resource Center to install upgraded Community WiFi. An entirely new router, modem, 1000 GB WiFi connector, and outdoor satellite extender unit were installed to consolidate the system and all laptops were reconnected to the printer, assuring wireless connection for individual patron devices. The new system also connects into the NetworkMaineUniFi to collect user statistics. Hopefully, all these efforts will resolve our long standing issues. We are most grateful for the assistance of all these cooperating organizations.
Welcome Back
Socrates Cafe returns to the Waterford Library in Fe.
