Some changes at the library...

Well-- I have been a bit of a busy bee.  Right now, I am adding updates to the computers. Last week I added the Google Pack, so that patrons can use the various programs that Google has to offer, including Google Chrome, which is a super-fast streamlined web browser.  Today, I am also adding two programs so that you will be able to have access to Overdrive and OWWL2Go right at the public computers!  You should really check out what we have--especially if you have a smart phone or web phone of any type...  If you need an app so you can download a book and take it with you, just let me know and I will download and install it on any of our computers.  Overdrive Media Console and Adobe Digital Editions are new! I am also looking in to getting interactive books for the computers for our Early Readers, and Easy Readers.


On that note-- I will also add that I am working really hard on making our Easy Reader section more parent and student friendly.  There will be some new additions to the Call Numbers on all of the books.  I am breaking the books down into SS--simple sentences for our Early Readers, RP--Ready for Paragraphs, RC is ready for chapters and EC are early chapter readers.  So now, the Call Numbers will be ER SS Author's name.  Here's an example:




If you have any ideas for what else we should do--just let me know!
