Adults are invited to an open house from 3-6 p.m. Monday, July 22, in the Library Center’s Funding and Business Information Center to try out new computers, software and printing capabilities recently added to enhance the library’s services for businesses and nonprofits.

Here are some of the recent enhancements:
- New public computers including an Apple MacBook Pro
