    The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the library is a nice size and clean, but there are…read moresome things I wish that would be better: There's a good amount of books there, but I heard before that years ago, they had a lot more, which is disappointing. I'd like to see there's a lot more books there for people of all ages. Also, the computers are pretty out of date: I know about computers, not as much of course as experts, but for what I saw of the computers after logging on, they are still running the Windows XP operating system and it's been unsupported since April of 2014 and some editions since April of 2019. I know it's not recommended to do banking stuff and such online from library computers, but what if you don't have a computer at home? I wish the library here could have a better connection with the university, because maybe for example, how expensive it is to get professional support from Microsoft and that it's overall more expensive to have the upkeep of Windows at public places such as libraries, when sometimes the budget doesn't call for much into some essential library services- in this case, the computers. If at all possible, from what I've seen, with Linux, it is free and you can get professional support from a bit of companies and I think having closer ties to the Frostburg college, maybe they can help and advise how to switch over to Linux. I think that would be good to do and more cost-effective. I myself would be happy to talk to the head librarians in charge about their thoughts. I don't know much about Linux, but I do know of some stuff and alternative programs to programs that are on Windows. Like instead of Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge, use Mozilla Firefox instead and instead of Microsoft Office, use LibreOffice instead. I do look forward to going to the library, but it would be nice to see if possible, some changes in place with them switching to Linux instead of keeping Windows for their computers and having more books, if the budget allows it.

    From the owner: Books, movies, internet access, color printing, community connections, WiFi, eBooks, free streaming…read moreservices.
