*ATTENTION MOBILE PRINT SERVICE USERS
|
|
|---|
|
EnvisionWare, the service we use for our public computer and print management has announced that they will be transitioning their mobile print solution provider from PrinterOn to Princh (yes, we chuckled too). EnvisionWare’s decision “was made based on customer feedback regarding reliability and user experience concerns with the existing provider.”
Princh is a trusted brand with a reputation for strong support and continuous improvement. The solution offers several benefits, including: Intuitive user interface to empower patron self-service, Enhanced speed for faster time-to-print, Stable solution reducing disruptions of service for patrons and Industry-leading data security (ISO 27001:2022 certified) that provides patrons and staff peace of mind that their data is safe.
At this time, we do not know when the transition to Princh will happen, and you can still use the PrinterOn app until the change. If you are unsure whether to use the PrinterOn app or the Princh app check our mobile printing page, it will be updated once we have made the switch.

The board of the Friends of the Dripping Springs Community Library want to pour out gratitude to all who attended and who helped make our 2024 Pouring Over Books a great success. The turnout was bigger than ever, and the donations soared!
We will be able to donate funds to support library programming as well as add to the Beyond Books, Building Community fund!
Thanks to Prospect House and Solaro wine and the many local businesses that donated services and goodies for the silent auction. Our featured author Mark Pryor was entertaining, and he sold out of books. Jerry Kirk kept us toe tapping. Special appreciation to our board for making this a great afternoon, Brian Hale, Nicole Newlan, Maria Kohout, Arvind Amin, Debbie Milner, Gogi Hale, Natalie Mahany, Pat Foster and Dorrie Flores. We have board openings and welcome inquires at info@fodscl.org. Keep on reading!
