Woodville Library
welcomes changes
Published August 4, 2008
Woodville Public Library has recently undergone some
technology updates thanks to a grant from the Alabama Public Library
Service.
The money allowed the library to computerize its checkout system
“This means that books were put on the computer and will be checked out
through the computer system,” said Karen Chambers, librarian.
Book systems were purchased to complete the computerizing process. Connie
Cooper served as the consultant for Woodville Library.
The Alabama Public Library sent a consultant, Muriel Lynn, to help with
the process of updating the way books are checked out from the library.
Two technicians were also send to load the books onto the computers.
The library was closed for only one week in order to complete the process.
A new section has been added to the Woodville Public Library. An Alabama
section has been set up in the from room of the library. The room has
places for patrons to browse the books, use computers on ancestry.com, and
to use microfilm machines to trace ancestries.
The staff and volunteers of the Woodville Public Library are continuing to
update the technology at the facility for the community.
