I guess we could use strung together surge protectors.  We could also
perhaps use the main branch?  Parking is plentiful there.  Could someone
make some phone calls?  I'm tied up w/ school during the week.  I know the
main branch as internet access but I don't know if the others do.  I
suppose the question would also be, would they let us use it.
