Jeff,

The site came right up via cable modem.  I did find the passage below on
their computer resources page.  Perhaps the library has some kind of
blocking in effect (obviously not effective since I got in via cable
modem from Massachusetts).  If Comcast is widely used in the area and if
they have a problem accessing the library, it is very likely that the
library would know about it.  They are also more likely to be helpful.
I would call them first.
