New Computer Area at Lumberton Public Library
In memory of Tom Trumble, his friends and family have generously donated the funds to purchase the wonderful new computer carrels at the Lumberton Public Library. These carrels provide the patrons with more private work areas. Recent upgrades to the building's electrical panel and network jacks, along with the new computer carrels, made it possible for library staff to consolidate the computers to one area away from the flow of patron traffic around the service desk and to and from the bathrooms.
