A. have you cleared your browsers cache and cookies?
B. have you tried rebooting your computer?

The title attribute is standard in HTML, I do not know why your browser wouldn't show them.

Do y'all know if the default for most people's browsers is for the title/caption to pop up when moused over?

But note: only editing the image in the visual editor will work. Editing the title in the Media Library will not change the HTML of the post if the image has already been inserted in the post.

or by clicking on an image the post visual editor, followed by clicking on the left icon (labeled edit image).

enter the text you want beside "Title"
than save.

That would be an another option besides the HTML tag advice Panos posted.

In the HTML editor, you'll change the text inside the quotation marks after title. For example, the code of your bookclub image is this:
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1848" title="bookclub" src="http://libraryexample.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/bookclub1.jpg?w=277&h=190" alt="" width="277" height="190" />

I don't want this capability on every page (that would be a lot to manage), only on the book club page.

@panos my images don't do that when I mouse over them, maybe I had disabled that at some point. What is the tag I should look for in the HTML editor?

Thanks!

You can switch the post editor to HTML and change the titles to whatever text you like.
