Seven things you might not know about Palo Alto's libraries

*Wireless Internet access is now available at both the Main and Mitchell Park branches. Soon, Main Library will loan laptop computers, equipped with word processing software, on-site.
*For free, you can use the library's Web site (www.city.palo-alto.ca.us/library) to place holds on books, and then pick them up yourself.
*Homework help for middle school students is now available Wednesday afternoons in the Main Library.
*There are collections of Russian and Chinese-language materials at Mitchell Park. Recently, the Children's Library acquired a small Indian language collection.
*Reference librarians have moved out of the two community libraries: College Terrace and Downtown.
*The library's Web site contains archives of New York Times articles from 1851.
*Unlike other local libraries, borrowing DVDs is still free. --Bill D'Agostino
