It had a nice \ interactive explanation of solar power and nice graphics. It was interesting and it worked the first couple of years but then it became a \ little outdated and then the computer died and we had a non-functioning kiosk taking \ up space. We just had it removed this summer. Renee Renee Zurn Supervisor, Adult Services Duluth Public Library 520 W.
