The perfect marriage: library computing and flight delays

I'm late with this, but it's too good to pass up. In her Crowe's Nest Genealogy Blog, Elizabeth Powell Crowe passes on the press release from the Akron-Canton Airport and the Stark County District Library: they installed two kiosks using PCs retired from the library and retrofitted for free public use. The airport offers free wireless already, but this way non-wireless delayed flyers may have a chance to check their email...or check out that genealogy database they've been wondering about. Now don't you wish you were flying to Akron?

A bow toward Canton, Ohio

Bloggers are supposed to be up-to-the-minute types; if we're late mentioning something we either hide it or are embarrassed. This time I'm late to the party and I don't care, because I'm so impressed with the Stark County (Ohio) District Library's index to death and obituary items in the Canton Repository, covering the years (deep breath here) 1815-1889, 1900-1955, 1957, 1961, 1963, 1966, 1978, 1979, and 2000-2004 -- so impressed that I don't mind that Karen at Ohio Genealogy told about them last September. Thanks, Karen.

Thank heavens my wife has one known relative with the good sense to die there.
