The Library maintains both its own website and the Town of Avon’s website. The
Library’s website is hosted at The Computer Company, Inc. in Cromwell. The Town’s
website is hosted at Fuss & O’Neill in Manchester and the software used is through
Virtual Town Hall. The Library provides wireless Internet access inside and outside the
building through four Microsoft Broadband MN-700 wireless base stations. Access is
available to users having hardware equipped with wireless network cards meeting the
WiFi standard IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g.
The Library is also connected to the Town of Avon network through a direct T-1 circuit,
giving seven Library administrative staff access to the Town intranet and e-mail system.
The Library uses WEBCAL Internet software for program room reservations and
calendar, and EventKeeper Internet software for the website’s public calendar of events
and programs, and for Museum Pass management.
Telephone service is provided through AT&T; Mid-State Teledata handles maintenance
of telephone equipment and the voicemail system. For presentation hardware in the
program room, we have an LCD projector on a cart with a manual pull-down screen,
and speakers for sound. We have no materials circulation security system.
Plans for the Expanded Library: There are several major concerns that need to be
planned for and addressed before and during construction for the expanded library.
1. Telecommunications and Network wiring needs to be upgraded from Category 5
cable to Category 6 cable.
2. Network, Wireless and Telecommunication Services: Redeploy servers,
switches and supporting hardware into a secured area away from heat, water
pipes and accidental brush-by disconnects.
3. The building should be made “RFID Ready,” (Radio Frequency Identification
Technology) to enable patron check-out, check-in, and to track materials for
security purposes.
4. The existing telephone and voicemail system needs to be replaced.
5. Wireless access points need to be upgraded, and new ones added.
6. Print management systems need to be installed on public computers and
photocopiers.
7. Presentation technology needs to be installed in the community program room
(Ceiling-mounted wireless LCD projector, remote control screen, sound system,
and a smart board).
8. The number of computers, printers and peripherals needs to be increased for
the expanded library.
9. The budget for computer equipment and technical support will have to
significantly increase in order to expand computer services in the enlarged
building.
10. The number of self-checkout computers needs to be increased.
11. An electronic sign board for library calendar and events needs to be installed
near the library entrance.
