Pickering Public Library
opens the doors to its New Virtual Branch
The Pickering Public Library is
proud to announce the launch of its new web site. This is the
fifth major re-design that the Library has undertaken over the
past few years and, thanks to the input and support of the
Pickering community, it shows many noticeable improvements over
the previous versions.
"The new web site is
representative of the library's commitment to provide friendly and
convenient service based on the evolving needs of the community,
" said Cathy Grant, Director of Public Service. "The web
site has eliminated many of the barriers to the Library's
extensive electronic books and music collection, and has allowed
staff to update content in a more timely manner. In addition, the
web site has added many opportunities for clients to provide
direct feedback to the Library, including comments and reviews of
library collections and services. This feedback, along with the
Library's commitment to service excellence, will allow the web
site services to continue to evolve and improve."
Within the the new web site, the
Library has added several new products to its online collection,
including Naxos Music Library, an exciting online collection of
streaming music. So stop in at the Library's newest virtual branch
at www.picnet.org,
and listen to some soft jazz while you browse the latest Mind
& Body books in NetLibrary, all from the comfort of your own
home.
