Two New Tech Features!

One of our brilliant Computer Tech Assistants, Curtis, has been hard at work on two recent assignments that were launched this week. 

First, is a monitor set up at the Circulation desk which runs a powerpoint presentation announcing our upcoming programs, special events, and library announcements.  This monitor is mounted in a central location so that both patrons checking in or out at the desk, and those passing through can see it.  (Thanks to my dad who did the mounting of the monitor!)

Second, is a wonderful new feature on our website to let patrons know about our newest acquisitions.  If you go to our homepage: http://www.matawanaberdeenlibrary.com/, you will see a blue box in the center of the page that says "New Books @ MAPL."  When you click on this box, you are brought to a page that shows you our newest materials including adult fiction, adult nonfiction, children's books, teen books, and audiobooks.  There is a picture of the cover, a brief description, and bibliographic information for each book, as well as the date published.  This is a feature that is not found on most libraries' websites!

Thank you to Curtis for implementing these innovations here at MAPL!
