Sumario:The article discusses the foot traffic increase at the Public Library of Staunton, Virginia and the demand for free computing resources where only four of the eight personal computers (PCs) were functioning.

The project won the city recognition during the annual Commonwealth of Virginia's Innovative Technology Symposium.
