Jennie Wiley, Director of Cotuit Library and I have been emailing back and forth since June 21st and have finally set a date for my first visit (no, that's not a real picture of her - just her avatar found next to her name on their staff directory)! July 1st she confirmed that I could meet with her Tuesday, July 7th around 9:30 a.m (when they open their library doors)! I'm both excited and nervous. I decided to visit a couple times - first to meet with her, with my interview questions and to get the lay of the land (technology wise, that is). Then, do a follow up with her to ensure I covered what was required of the assignment.
I was looking up some information to help me get started on Jennie when I came upon this interesting little tidbit while snooping around their library's blog: (http://www.cotuitlibrary.org/blog/)
We're gonna brag for just a minute . . .
Last week, we learned that our library won three awards from the Massachusetts Library Association. We won awards for our mobile library app, our mailed newsletter, and the article that appeared in the Barnstable Patriot about our telescope lending program. We are super surprised and excited about this grand news. If you want to check out the app, you can scan the QR code above or just search for Cotuit Library in your devices app store. It's available for IPads, Androids, both tablets and phones, and the Kindle Fire. You can read download and print a copy of our newsletter below, if you didn't get one in the mail.
I am really looking forward to finding out about the technology items that won them awards! I am a star-gazer, so the telescope lending program sounds out of this world (yes, bad pun...but necessary). I am also looking forward to hearing about the mobile library app and what they came up with for a mailed newsletter that was award-winning certainly intrigues me.
Stay tuned for more info about Jennie and the Cotuit Library! Blasting off!
