Pioneer Library System - Press Releases

It's happened to the best of us. We pull out our trusty old 3.5" disc and pop it in the A: drive of the computer and... ERROR!

At that moment the heart stops - oh my goodness 3 months worth of work down the tubes.

Why does it happen? Well, truth be told 3.5" discs are very fragile - even in the best storage conditions they lend themselves to being easily damaged and that means the information we store on them is vulnerable.

Well Pioneer Library System, and our hometown libraries, are here to help. Starting April 16, 2008 you'll be able to purchase PLS USB Drives. The 1GB USB Drives are $10.00 and fit neatly on a key chain, in a pocket or a purse. You'll be able to purchase them with cash or check at the Circulation Desk.

Why should you consider purchasing a USB Drive from PLS? Well USB Drives are more reliable than floppies and our 1GB USB Drive will store, approximately, the same amount of information as 700 old 3.5" discs. Plus as you can see from the photo they are are a lovely shade of purple and have the PLS Logo. What better way to remember who is here to connect you to the joy of reading and information for lifelong learning?
