We Want Your Opinion on Library Services; Friends of the Library Fall Book Sale Oct. 21-26 at Remington's
What will draw you to the library and make it special for you?
That’s what we’re asking in a survey of users and non-users of the library branches and online resources. As we gather ideas for the library’s five-year plan for 2016-2020, we want to know what is useful to you now, and what the library could add or change to enrich your life in the future. Our goal is to keep your needs and wants in mind as we plan how and where to devote resources in the future.
Library card holders are receiving email surveys this month. Both library users and non-users can also fill out the survey at an iPad station in each of the branches, and from a link on the home page, thelibrary.org. Many people have responded already, and we hope to hear from you.
A frequent request on comment cards and surveys is “More books, please.” We’ve found another economical way to do that: As a library card holder, you now have access to more than 33 million items including audiovisual materials from public and academic libraries in Colorado and Wyoming. That’s in addition to the 27 million items you already have access to through our existing lending consortium, MOBIUS, which this year also added Tulsa, Okla., library collections.
Now you can search and borrow from MOBIUS and the unified Colorado/Wyoming group, Prospector.
Here’s how: Begin by searching thelibary.org/catalog for the item you want. If you can’t find it, click on Search MOBIUS. If the item is available, click “Request” and follow the usual steps. If it’s not available, click Search Prospector, locate your item, click “Request” and follow the usual steps. Items are delivered to the branches five days a week.
