Computer Help with Dustin is on hiatus!
Congratulations to volunteer extraordinaire Dustin Wolpoff as he pursues a new job opportunity! We are so grateful for the many hours that Dustin has spent offering free computer help and guidance to the community.
 
Computer Help with Dustin will no longer continue on a regular basis, but it is Dustin's hope that he will still be able to offer some computer help to the library community in the future. Stay tuned, we will update you on opportunities as they arise!
