 ITDRC GRANT Our entire WiFi system was  updated in 2019 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, these efforts will resolve our long standing issues. We are most grateful for the assistance of all these cooperating organizations.

COMMUNITY GARDEN UPDATE 

Last year a handful of people committed to developing a new Community Garden at the Waterford World's Fairgrounds. They first met to design the space. Once again there is plenty to do.  We'd love your involvement at any level. This garden will help us to connect with each other and this land we call home in addition to growing some produce and providing a great space to learn together.
