Pella Public Library Director Wendy Street tells KNIA/KRLS News that a server they share with Central College recently suffered a hardware failure. That means that you can check things out, however neither the library, nor any member has access to any records. This is affecting renewals, late fees, notices, and many other minor details that are creating major headaches for the staff. Street says that they’ve been told a backup has been ordered, however, they don’t know when to expect it’s arrival or how long it will take to get everything up to full speed. She does want to thank the community for the entire staff for their patience during this inconvenience.
