UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Have you ever wished you had a greater understanding of the inner workings of a computer? Is there a lobe of your brain that should be labeled computer geek?

Greg Bushta, who during the week is a computer and network systems analyst for the state of California, will be at the Upper Lake Library from 10:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 14, to share his passion of programming and demonstrate the very popular credit-card-sized Raspberry Pi computer.

This free demonstration is open to the public.

Pi Day is celebrated in many places each year on March 14 (3/14 in month/day format), because 3, 1, and 4 are the first three digits of pi in decimal form.

Some people are known to eat pie on this date, but in Upper Lake, the library will be going high tech with Raspberry Pi, a bargain micro PC.

Developed in the UK, it first became available for purchase in 2012. There are several versions currently selling for between $20 and $35, plus shipping costs.

Raspberry Pi computers can be used for surfing the net, playing games, robotics, doing homework, learning computer programming and more.

The public is invited to stop in and have fun interacting and learning at the historic 99-year-old Upper Lake Library, one of four branches of the Lake County Library.

Located on the corner of Main and Second streets, the library’s normal hours of operation are Monday through Friday, noon to 5 p.m., and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For questions about Pi Day or the operations of the library, the phone number to call is 707-275-2049.
