PACHUG Phase II Computers have arrived!

The long-anticipated new public access computers have been arriving all week around the Fort Loudoun region. These new computers, made possible through the 2nd phase of the PACHUG program (Public Access Computers Hardware Upgrade Grant), are funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Library Foundation. The schedule for installs has not been formalized yet, but expect installs to occur between December 7 and Christmas. In all, the member libraries of the Fort Loudoun region will be receiving 132 new PACs. Thanks, Bill and Melinda!
