iPad Class for SeniorNet

My third iPad class for SeniorNet will start next Wednesday. Eight people are signed up. Hopefully the wireless connection will be more cooperative than it was for the last two sessions I taught.

New Virtual Reference Tool!


We just added TextALibrarian to our toolbox! Within the first week we had a great response! Promotional items to come soon: doorhangers, table tents, and more! Give it a try at: 66746 askmadigan

Exciting New Project

Penn College is starting a new major: automotive restoration. The faculty have requested that the library put together a list of resources to support the course. Another casual part-timer and I are creating a LibGuide that includes how to find used auto parts, assembly manuals, collectors, museums, etc.
The library currently has a restored Ford Mustang on display. Who ever thought I'd work in a library with a classic car in it?
