BLOOMINGTON The last couple weeks have been like Christmas morning for Danny Rice.

Rice, circulation and outreach services supervisor for Bloomington Public Library, beams like a kid with a new toy as he climbs into the front seat of the new Bookmobile that will hit the streets April 13.

BPL's 1999 Bookmobile will be put out to pasture, replaced by a $250,000 vehicle funded 80 percent by the library and 20 percent by Golden Prairie Public Library District, a collection of townships that pay to use BPL services and donated additional money to help buy the vehicle.

The new Bookmobile comes with a bunch of improvements, including on-board wireless Internet, better heating and cooling systemsand a backup camera. But Rice, a driver for two years, is most excited about what it shouldn't have: electrical issues that led to canceled stops and extra repair costs.

"It still serves us well when it works correctly, but it's time to move on," he said of the previous Bookmobile that recently crossed 100,000 miles."This will be less expensive because of fewer maintenance issues."

Rice hopes the new vehicle and increasing public awareness will make Bookmobile service more popular than ever. It currently averages about 25 patrons per stop the vehicle visits each stop every three weeks for between 45 and 90 minutes, most for about an hour.

The basics of the operation will stay the same with the new vehicle: six BPL employees will take turns driving the Bookmobile around those 40 locations across Bloomington and in Arrowsmith and Ellsworth, serving as a librarian while it's stopped. A full schedule is available on the library website.

The new vehicle also has about the same capacity as its predecessor. It will be stocked with about 6,500 books, magazines, Blu-ray movies, DVD's and video games selected from BPL's most popular and available for checkout, and it will deliver other items patrons have put on hold online.

Rice said there's a perception the Bookmobile is intended for children the 1999 model has a rainbow of colors painted on the side, versus clean gray, green and blue stripes for the new one or for people who can't afford the time or money to go to the library. But he said any patron is welcome.

"It has less to do with finances and more with convenience," he said of why patrons visit the vehicle that has been on the street in some form since 1930. "If the Bookmobile is two blocks from your house, it's easier than driving 20 minutes downtown."

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) March 24, 2015

Atlanta HVAC company Bardi Heating, Cooling and Plumbing is encouraging homeowners to schedule their AC tune-ups now by offering a plumbing diagnostic with the AC tune-up for $99, a total value of just $198. Scheduling an AC tune-up before the hot weather hits can help homeowners avoid the increased wait times that occur in summer when demand peaks. A majority of expensive repairs could be prevented with early detection during an AC tune-up, which entails a visual inspection of the system, cleaning and removing any debris, making minor adjustments to components that may have shifted, lubricating moving parts, conducting system and performance tests, and more. A plumbing diagnostic consists of an interior and exterior inspection of all pipes and drains in your home to identify leaks, clogs and even dangerous molds. Bardi will even inspect underneath the home for any signs of compromised pipes, leaks or water damage. Minor problems anywhere in your plumbing system can compromise the water quality or lead to other serious problems down the line. Should any existing or developing problems with the air conditioning or plumbing system arise, Bardi will alert the homeowners and offer various options for repair.

We all know that summers in Georgia are hot. Getting your AC tuned-up now ensures your system will be working properly and efficiently all summer long, said Adam Bardi, Residential General Manager of Bardi Heating, Cooling & Plumbing. An AC tune-up could help you avoid system breakdowns that will leave your family hot and miserable, and could easily cost thousands of dollars. Scheduling an AC tune-up early will save you money and hassle in the long run.

In addition to their AC tune-up special pricing, Bardi is offering up to $1,700 in savings or zero percent financing on a qualifying Lennox home comfort system from March 23, 2015 through June 12, 2015. Home comfort systems typically include a thermostat, furnace, air conditioning unit and indoor air quality system.

Parker & Sons Reports Record Demand As Of January 2015 For Video Inspections On Commercial Plumbing

JEFFERSON Jefferson-Morgan School Board directors on Monday unanimously approved a resolution to incur debt in an amount not to exceed $8 million to pay for badly needed upgrades and repairs to the senior-middle school, locking in interest rates near a 50-year historical low.

The rates are very good. Its a good time for the district (to incur debt), said Christopher Brewer, bond council with Dinsmore and Shohl LLP, adding that rates hit a near 50-year low in January.

The rates have come up a little since then, but they are still well below historical averages, said Jamie Doyle, financial adviser with Public Financial Management Inc.

Cindy Jento, chair of the board finance committee, said the district is hoping to raise $5.2 million from the bond issuance to replace sections of roofing; upgrade the electrical, plumbing and heating and cooling systems, and correct other infrastructure problems.

She added that the $8 million figure noted in the resolution is a cushion needed for possible adjustments in calculations regarding interest rates, and that the district intends to The rates are very good.

Its a good time for the district (to incur debt), said Christopher Brewer, bond council with Dinsmore and Shohl LLP, spend only $5.2 million on the needed repairs and upgrades.

Directors last month approved a resolution authorizing the administration and district solicitor Ernest DeHaas to work with the financial adviser bond counsel regarding the issuance of general obligation bonds based on net millage not to exceed 0.55 mills.

Last year, directors approved a 1.07 millage increase, with those funds earmarked for the project.

The additional 0.55 mills approved this year brings the total millage earmarked for bond payments to 1.62 mills.

Annual bond payments are expected to be about $450,000 over 30 years, she added.
