The Troy Public library is preparing for the installation of 14 new computers donated by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The public library received a $60,674 grant to help provide an expanded public access to computers and the Internet.
The grant will be used for the purchase of eight PC’s, one content server, and one HP4050 laser printer at the main library, four PC’s, a server, and printer at the Lansingburgh branch, two PC’s, a server, and printer at the Sycaway Branch, and additional networking hardware and software.
Installation of the computer systems is scheduled for February 12 and 13 at the main library, February 14 at the Sycaway Branch, and February 15 and 16 at the Lansingburgh Branch.
In order to provide for the staff training for the new computer systems, the main library will be closed during the day on February 12 and 13.
The main library will remain open during the evening period from 5 to 9 pm on those two dates for regular library business and for a concert on Tuesday featuring the Morningside Baptist Church Choir.
The Lansingburgh Branch will be closed on February 16.
