File space increase, volunteer recognition

[Irene Mogol]

How about giving this frustrated volunteer more space and more
importantly, a way to get around the system at Henry -- 45 minutes per 24
hours.  If there are no patrons waiting to use computers, I usually can
coerce the staff to let me use their dummy card, but that is becoming a
giant pain in the (*&%?$) expletive deleted.  Right now, the system keeps
telling me I am using too much space, but I never get enough time to
clean house. 

Thanx,
