Please Welcome Cynthia Rucci
Cynthia Rucci, our new library technician joined us in November. Cindy has a wealth of library experience. She is a resident of Greenfield and a graduate of Smith College, and worked at Smith’s Music Library. She brings other computer skills and a customer service personality to the job. If you haven’t been to the library in November, stop by, say “hi”.
Enjoy our holiday decorations and all the library has to offer to make your spirits bright during this season.
New Technology Update….
This month we are showing off our new ebook readers. During December, we will feature “playtime” with our new devices. Then, in the new year, we will be circulating the ebook readers for those who request a book that we can’t provide in hard copy.
If you missed our November session of downloads and donuts, you can still learn how to download FREE ebooks from our library system C/W MARS through the Overdrive Digital Catalog at http://digitalcatalog.cwmars.org
Let us know if you need help.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU CAN DOWNLOAD EBOOKS AND AUDIOBOOKS AT HOME TO YOUR COMPUTER OR TO MOST EBOOK READERS, NOW INCLUDING THE KINDLE.
Kindle books are now available on the C/W MARS Digital Books website…. Start at:
http://digitalcatalog.cwmars.org
The transaction will be FREE! Kindle ebook loans are for 7 or 14 days.
- Not every ebook title will be available in Kindle format, nor will patrons have access to all Kindle titles on the Amazon website. They are still limited to the C/W MARS OverDrive Catalog.
- Patrons will be able to use the highlighting and annotation features of their Kindle with library ebooks, and if they choose to check out or purchase the title at a future date, everything they annotated will be available again.
- Wireless sync of Kindle titles will only be available through wifi. Kindles with only 3G, or no wifi access, can still transfer their Kindle title using the USB cable, similar to other ereaders.
EVERGREEN MIGRATION
Ho! Ho! Ho! A gift from C/W MARS coming soon, and appropriate to the season, it is called Evergreen.
Central/Western Massachusetts Automated Resource Sharing (C/W MARS) accessible online at: http://www.cwmars.org will continue to provide access to all of the library resources in our area, but the software is changing to a system called Evergreen. The Massachusetts Library System, a recently merged state agency, is now providing delivery for libraries throughout the state. EPL greatly appreciates the services of these 2 state agencies.
When the new system is online, if you encounter any difficulty when placing holds from your home computer or when trying to renew need assistance, I’m here to help.
