NEW COMPUTERS
Customers who have used Microsoft Office 2003 will notice that Office 2007 has a different user interface. Microsoft has provided interactive guides for the Office 2007 suite to help you get accustomed to this new software.
The Whitehall Public Library computers no longer have floppy disk drives. Purchase of a USB flash drive (available in the library at the front desk for $11.00 or from most major retailers) can be used to store files. USB flash drives have more capacity and are faster, more durable, and more reliable than floppy disks.
