Library Resolutions

The start of the New Year coincides happily with some updates at the Charlotte Library.  This year, we resolve to bring the best of library service to you and we believe that these new features will help us do just that. 

The Charlotte Library advocates and supports life-long learning by providing information, services and programs for all ages in a welcoming atmosphere.  For 2017 that will mean:
  Be the first to know about new books!  Subscribe to one or all of our Book News lists and receive email updates.  What sounds interesting to you?

 We’ve updated our website to HTTPS to provide you with a more secure browsing experience. What does this mean?  The “S” stands for secure, indicating that communications between your browser and the website are encrypted. When leaving our website you may get a message that the site you are going to is insecure, this indicates the new site is not yet using HTTPS. Give Susanna a call at the library (425-3864) if you have any questions.  

Concerned about the validity of internet sites?  The bulletin board above the patron computers has helpful guidelines to identifying legitimate internet resources.
    Use your library card to take a class with Universal Class.  OneClick offers Pimsleur Language courses and popular Great Courses along with their collection of audiobooks and ebooks.  Go to Vermont Online Libraries to connect to over four dozen databases including Chilton Library’s auto repair site.  Learn a new language with Mango Languages.  If you follow Mango Languages on social media, each day they will provide you with a fun, new challenge to engage in the language you're learning.To find login instructions and get started, go to our Online Resources page. On our website on the right hand sidebar there is now a How Do I? section for fast answers to FAQs.  Also in the sidebar are Quick Links for easy access to frequently used features, including a new interlibrary request form. We’ve also updated our Read-Alikes with new title suggestions.  You'll find them in the Need a Read sections of the Kids, Teens and Reader's Corner pages. 
 
We hope your New Year Resolutions include more visits to the library!
