In an exciting tech transformation, the Texarkana Public Library has completed a significant upgrade to its computer systems, unveiling a brand-new, integrated platform that promises to revolutionize the user experience.
A New Era for Library Users
The innovative system is designed to enhance user interaction with the library’s vast resources. “It’s a lot more user-friendly, and it’s a lot sleeker design,” stated TPL Executive Director Olivia Poulton, highlighting the importance of accessibility and efficiency.
Cutting-Edge Features
The library’s fresh website boasts a powerful search capability, allowing patrons to seamlessly explore both in-library and online collections, like the Libby and hoopla apps, through a unified search bar. This streamlined approach is expected to make book searches faster and more efficient.
Booking Made Easy
Adding to its list of features, the website now enables groups to reserve the library’s David Nelson Meeting Room effortlessly. With an online availability calendar and detailed policies, this digital convenience is a welcome addition for both nonprofits, who can book for free, and other groups, with a nominal fee of $75.
Preparing for a Centennial Celebration
As the library commemorates its 100th anniversary, preparations are underway for the upcoming Centennial Gala on December 12. The community is eagerly anticipating this celebration, which will be a highlight of continued fundraising efforts for further enhancements.
Moving Forward with Confidence
The upgrade’s success is a testament to the library’s ongoing dedication to providing modern and efficient services to its patrons. Olivia Poulton assures users that a simple refresh of the site’s cache and cookies is all that’s needed to connect with the new version.
By embracing such technological advancements, the Texarkana Public Library is stepping confidently into the future, committed to delivering a superior experience for all visitors.
