Hello,
Collection Development has decided to discontinue Metro's subscription to the database Social Explorer. This decision was made after careful consideration of the dwindling usage, and the subsequent rise in cost per user for this resource. Beginning immediately, guests and staff will not be able to find this resource on Metro's website. Please feel free to send me any questions you may have. Thank you.

I am pleased to announce the addition of a new resource for early readers into Metro's digital collection: Lote4Kids. This resource is for early readers learning English as a second language or early readers learning any new language. Users can access eBooks, eAudiobooks, Flipbooks (read-a-longs), as well as activities and games that strengthen literacy skills. L4K also provides titles in American Sign Language, BSL, NZSL, and Auslan.
Summer Reading is right around the corner! Learn more about your Summer Reading training, important dates, our Read it Forward recipient, teen volunteers, Neighborhood Arts, and so much more in the attached newsletter!
Plus, your Summer Reading Training is live now on MetroU!
For any summer reading questions, please contact OES.

Metro Library is beginning to gather feedback for its next long-range planning cycle, or what we know internally as the Strategic Plan.
Before we share this survey with the public, we would like to gather feedback from you – the staff. You will also have the opportunity to take the survey after it’s been shared with the public, but we want to make sure you have the chance to see the survey and take it yourself so you can assist guests and the community if they have questions about it.
