As we live in an ever more pressing age for people to communicate and resolve, reason and understand one another, our efforts are designed to facilitate that information exchange. Another large part of our customer base is more of the thirties and forties crowd that are professional and often net-savvy. In general, our service appeals to people of all ages. For example, the virtual tours we hold on a regular basis have wide appeal to people who do not associate themselves with the computer age. These classes and special events showcase and educate users on specific opportunities on-line and examine the current and potential roles for technology in our communities.

After work they drop by to read through personal ads, send a bit of electronic mail to the mayor or vote on future Speakeasy events. The Art Gallery, curated by Tina LaPadula, rotates a new show every 6 weeks. All graphical terminals have 17-inch color monitors.
