Hi, David: If I were you, I would forward this email to them, pronto:

"You are using a browser that is not Java-enabled. "

That's what I get when I use a text-based browser, lynx. What that means to
me, is, that anyone who relies on text-to-voice for using the Internet to
access the public library, is - - -well, what a shame. Also, I encourage you
to copy this to your mayor, city council, and any news media in the
community, not to mention the local organizations that work with the
disabled. Remember, these are federally funded entities.

Thanks,
Tom Poe
