Here at MaintainIT, we're always looking for a good story to share, and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to tell you about the Geneva Public Library, serving a town of just over 4,000, and sitting squarely on the cutting edge. Read this feature on how Marian Wynn, the intrepid library director, gave new life to her older public computers by implementing Ubuntu, a free, open source operating system.
