Regarding: computers

Patron Comment: Fix the computers so that they scroll without the jerky wavy movement!

AADL Reply: Hello, thanks for contacting us. We're sorry that you ran into this trouble. Can you tell us what location, and approximately what time this happened? We do use a different way of computing that offers our patrons high privacy at a sustainable cost; the way that the screen is updated is different, and it can be noticable at peak times. So, to a certain extent, this is simply part of the AADL system, but with your help we can identify if this is worse on some servers or at certain times and see if it can be further optimized. Thanks again for your feedback and patience, and thanks for using your library! -eli Eli Neiburger Associate Director for IT and Production Ann Arbor District Library

Patron Comment: I was actually just wondering who teaches the computer classes and whether it was possible for someone to suggest a course or volunteer to teach one?

We always welcome suggestions! Please feel free to contact me directly with yours. I'm happy to talk with you further, anytime.

Regarding: room rental

Patron Comment: Hello I was wondering if you could tell me more about your facility. I am looking for information about having a event here. When I did a online search it said you do wedding receptions, Yes? How many people can your location hold? What is included in the pricing? How many hours are included? Who does the catering? clean up? Alcohol allowed? Any up charges? Any discounts? Do you do any discounts for booking in advance? Or any other specials when it comes to pricing? Thank you for your time.
