I don’t know if any of you besides me have been to the West Des Moines Library or any city facility since last Monday, but I am writing this in case none of you have. There was a network problem that was detected last Monday afternoon, and there has been no internet (including wi-fi) available at the library or any city building since. This means that the public catalog has been inaccessible, no self check-outs have been available, and that staff has had to print or post certain things differently. I found out yesterday that public computers will not be available until sometime after New Year’s.
The WDM Library will be closed from Christmas Eve through January 2 due to shifting of items to the other side of the upper level.
