From my short time at Circ. Today

The computer says I need a Username and Password. (a patron coming out of the computer lab – someone had logged off/restarted the computer)

Do you have wireless?

(A side note: A visiting couple were very happy to be offered library cards after they said they were waiting for a local friend to check out the books they wanted on her card. They were so impressed to learn that they could check out audio and e books on their Orange Beach accounts back home in Wisconsin that they were still exclaiming as they walked out the door. :)
