It’s easy, we’re here to help

I would love it if everyone knew how easy the library really is to use. I think sometimes people feel less-than-confident when it comes to using our library tools and resources, simply because they have felt intimidated or too shy to ask in the past. I want to reach out to these people and tell them: We’re here to help…YOU!

If the people we serve don’t feel comfortable enough to ask us for help when looking for material that may be useful or interesting to them, then maybe we just haven’t made ourselves clear enough, so I would like to take this time to set things straight. The staff, at our library, enjoy serving our clientele! It brings us great joy just to be able to find that one book, to fill that one special request, to be able to help shape a non-reader into an avid one; it’s our raison d’être. I shudder to think of anyone leaving the library without having found something that they can’t wait to get into; a book, a movie, a course, anything!

If you haven’t used the library in a while, you may not even be aware of all the useful self-service options that we now have in place: online reserving and renewing, an electronic catalogue that can be browsed from home OR in the library, the Computers for Beginners program, databases and accompanying guides, and so much more. Still feel unsure of what to do or how to use the library? PLEASE ask us; we also love to answer questions and we’re happy to help.
