To make it easy for you, we've kept most of the navigation similar to the old website, but we've added some new features to help you find Library news, events and resources faster. In addition to improving the usability of our website through design and content improvements, our new look also coordinates with the City website and more importantly, it uses the same Content Management System, making it easier and faster to input content and make changes. It eliminates the need to duplicate information, calendar listings and news items on two different systems, which consequently reduces the chance for errors and oversights. It also provides the library with a more secure site and uses a newer, faster server.
