What to expect with new library system - email reminder notices

As mentioned in a recent post, we'll be converting to a new library system in August. Besides keeping you up to date about the latest developments with respect to the August conversion, we thought that you'd also like to hear in the ensuing weeks about some of the many features that the new system will support. One of the features will be a courtesy email reminder notice of your borrowed items coming due. How do you like that? - Being reminded about borrowed items' due dates before they're due! If you'd like to benefit from such a service, you'll have to make sure that we have your email address. You can give us your email by going to your account here and then editing your account profile to include your email address or by stopping by the front desk during your next library visit.

New website alias

I don't know about you, but I often found it a nuisance to have to type the rather cumbersome web address of our website: "http://www.hooksett.lib.nh.us". Inevitably, I would forget to type a period or forget which order the "nh" and "us" came in. Well, we've solved these issues by adding an alias to our web domain. You can now navigate to our website by simply typing "hooksettlibrary.org" in your browser's address bar. If you use Firefox as your browser, it'll automatically add the "http://" prefix. This alias even applies to our email domain extension, so if you want to reach us via email, you don't have to type "@hooksett.lib.nh.us" for the domain name, but only "@hooksettlibrary.org". Not only does this change make our web address more intuitive, it also makes us more accessible in cyberspace. We hope you like the change.

New blog syndication features added

Since we've been updating our blog on a more regular basis of late, we thought it would be a good idea to make it easier for you to keep track of our latest posts. At the top of the right panel of our blog you will now see two widgets. The first of these will allow you to subscribe to our blog through your favorite feed reader and the second, through your email service. We hope that you will enjoy these new features and the new posts as well. Happy reading!
