Patron Desktop Menus
We had some problems transferring the patron desktop computer menus. There may be glitches for a day or so, but once you see the white version pop up, everything should be working properly. When you click on links for databases, the new Word Press online resource menu should open to that category (try it, it's really cool).
I have finally removed the non-working Entertainment category, added Learn Languages, and everything should be updated and working.
Teen menus have been corrected but still have the starry night background for now.
Please let me know if you observe any problems. Thank you for your patience, Karen

Coming Up in May - Mass Email
The "Coming Up in May" email to 1700+ patrons went out Tuesday evening. This is a link to it, so you know what they saw:

Those staff members signed up on bernardsvillelibrary webmail may not have received it as we had some delivery issues this time. Please make sure librarian@bernardsvillelibrary.org is an "allowed sender" in McAfee, and hopefully this will not happen again.

A little infomercial from PUG
Sorry no one else could join me this year at MidAtlantic PUG. For those who have attended before, Polaris always shows a little YouTube clip. The theme this year is Polaris Rocks. This year they showed 2. This one was made by a P0laris library and its kinda funny.
Go to youtube.com and search Polaris rocks. It is the top entry--BCLS's entry in the Polaris Rocks competition. Sorry the direct link wouldn't copy and paste.

Pew Study on Reading
If you're interested...check out this link
http://www.pewinternet.org/Media-Mentions/2012/Pew-study-Ereaders-have-caught-on-quickly.aspx
on the rise of e-reading. While it discusses e-reading, it also is clear that print is not dead. Also mentions that people are using friends and the net for recommendations more than the library; makes me think that Evelyn's "staff picks" project may meet specific needs of our library patrons.
