Hello Everyone!

There is a new collection on the Download and Stream page on Metro's home site titled Grass Roots Press. It is a collection of titles already available on Hoopla that are created for low-literacy adults and ESL learners. We've created a direct link for easier access, but staff and customers can also access the collection by going into Advanced Search and seaching for Grass Roots Press in the publishers field. 

On June 16th, the Library Commission approved our recommendation to keep adult and young adult materials fine free permanently! We found in our tracking of materials over the last year that fine free made a positive impact on our community. We saw around 50,000 inactive accounts come back to use the library. We did see an initial increase in the number of items and accounts that went overdue once fines were removed, but autorenewal drastically reduced these numbers.

Hello!

I'd like your feedback on two possible database additions, AtoZ World Food and Food America. Both are part of the AtoZ travel databases family and they would supplement our popular cookbook collection. Here is the link to the databases: https://www.apldatabaseaccess.com/
