Saving:

*Some thumb drives cannot work with our PCs because they include software that must first be installed onto the host computer (Cruzers and SanDisk USB drives are common examples). The install is blocked by our Anti-Executable software.

Thank you to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for granting the Lab computers to the Chula Vista Public Library and to the Friends of the Library and Modular Terminologies for the donation of the furniture.
