We've Been Branded!

While we were closed on President’s Day I attended a webinar on how to “brand” the Axis360 Magic Wall for our ebooks.  Because of that I have made a couple of changes that will appear on your computer when you visit the site.  (Sorry, it doesn’t work with the Axis360 Magic Wall for your tablet or phone but I’m exploring how to make changes in that area next.)

When you visit our Magic Wall you will notice that in the upper left corner there is a picture of the library.  Click on that picture and it will take you to our website where you can see listings of local activities, festivals in the area, library and community calendars, college and FAFSA information, links for kids, our hours and many, many other items we think you want/need to know.

Directly underneath the picture is a row listing Magic Wall, App Zone (information about adding this site to your tablet, ebook reader, or phone), Browse by Subject (for a listing of subjects you might be interested in reading), and a new listing called Series.  When you click on Series it takes you to a listing of the series we have as ebooks.  Currently there are 10 listed, just click on the series title and it will show you the books available.


So stay tuned, who knows what marvels will be revealed next time?
