Library pilots in-house tablets, adds DVD players and new shelving to boost circulation
Summary
The board heard that the library will pilot six Samsung tablets for in-house use, add four DVD players for checkout, and has installed new shelves intended to improve browsing and raise circulation.
John told the board the library will pilot six Samsung tablets initially for in-house use to support programming and help patrons learn to use databases; he said the library is ordering protective cases and will evaluate home checkout later. "At the moment, we are just having it, like, in house at the moment, and just kind of piloting it in house for programming," John said.
He also said the library will offer four DVD players for checkout because some community members do not own players. John described the shelf removal and replacement work that staff and facilities completed to improve browsing and circulation and said the move created more space for the children's librarian to hold story time in the newly arranged area.
