Library Catalog Now Available Online!

After some more tweaking, we now have the library catalog once again available on our website! Now you can browse our books, DVDs and other materials right from the comfort of your computer.

We've also added a few pictures to our pictures page, and have started to put up pictures of the staff as well. Slowly but surely, the site redesign is starting to take shape. It's the first website I've ever written in FrontPage, and while it will still be edited some more, it's exciting to be able to take an idea and then get it to show up on the screen. :)

Southern District Meeting

Yesterday, I went to a meeting in Las Vegas for the Southern District of the Nevada Library Association. (I went not only because I've agreed to be the Secretary/Treasurer for the District, but also because the meeting was held at Marie Callender's! I brought a whole cheesecake back for the staff...who I assume will share ;)

They have some great staff training programs coming up. I'm especially excited for the "Best of the Best - Young Adult Services" program that's coming up in February. I'd like to do more for the teenagers who use the library, and I think this program will give me some great suggestions as to things we can do. (Although, if you think of an idea before then, you're always welcome to stop by my office and tell it to me.)

Welcome!

Welcome to the Amargosa Valley Library blog! We plan to use this space to make announcements regarding library events, talk about new materials, and generally help people keep up with what's going on at the library.

We've just redesigned our website, and although I'm not finished tinkering with it, I think it's coming along well. I'm learning a lot about html, that's for sure! I hope to have the catalog available online soon, as well as pictures of the staff, but for now, this is a good start.

Test post

This is a test post to use while I work on setting this up.
