Diba Mohtasham writes: “When former librarian and author Jean Armour Polly first introduced the idea of having computers in libraries in the early 1980s, she was met with pushback. [But] in 1981, Polly managed to secure an Apple II Plus into the small library she was working at the time in Liverpool, New York. By 1992, they were offering free internet for the public. Polly would also go around attending library conferences about the internet, excitedly speaking to anybody who would listen about the resource.” She also popularized the phrase “Surfing the internet” in a 1992 Wilson Library Bulletin article.
