Sci-Fi/Fantasy Recommendations for February, 2020
February 19th, 2020 · Books, City Library, Main Branch, News
Robots are a big theme in Science-Fiction, but AI’s are a class with this group. Some of the most interesting characters are intelligent robots, whether brought to the story as individual characters or hive-mind collectives. They’re a playground for embodying the best and the worst of human nature: sometimes they’re benevolent, sometimes oppressive. Often, they’re misunderstood, or struggling with the very real crisis of purpose and identity that we all struggle with. Check out this month’s list of books that showcase some of Science Fiction’s diverse portrayals of Artificial Intelligence.

Upcoming Changes to How Library Patrons Receive Books on Hold
February 15th, 2020 · Audiobooks, City Library, E-Books, Main Branch, News, Technology, West Branch
There are changes coming soon to how your e-materials are held.
For the past few years, eBooks and audiobooks placed on hold have been automatically checked out when they became available — provided the user had fewer than three items currently checked out. This is changing on March 2, 2020. Items will no longer be automatically checked out to patrons’ digital accounts. Instead, the user will receive an email OR Libby app notification on their reading device (phone, tablet) about the available hold. Users will have two (2) days to take action on that hold. The action can either be:
•Manually checking out the hold within two (2) days.
•Deliver it later — Allowing the patron to assign a suspension period while maintaining their hold on the waiting list. If no action is taken by the patron, there is a one-time courtesy hold suspension of seven (7) days. If no action is taken the second time, the hold will be cancelled for that patron and the item will move to the next person waiting for the title.
If you have any questions of concerns regarding your e-materials please call us at the Information Desk at 624-6550 ext. 3319.
