Weiss Financial Ratings trial

Submitted by zachary.branstetter on Fri, 04/22/2022 - 12:00

If you have experience using Value Line, either on your own, or through helping our customers, I would like your help evaluating a possible alternative. The new database is called Weiss Financial Ratings. It provides many of the same functions as Value Line but may lack others, so I would like your feedback on how the two databases compare with one another. If you would like to test out Weiss, the link should log you in automatically. You can also create a personal account for free in order to save searches and other specific information.

Belle Isle Grand Opening

Submitted by george.tocco on Fri, 04/15/2022 - 12:52

I first would like to say thank you to everyone who has come together and contributed to making this library a reality. So many things have gone wrong, and delays were at every turn. But with a little bit of Metro Magic and a team dedicated to making this happen. We came out from the other side a stronger and happier community. The pictures attached are from the day of the grand opening before we opened it to the public. As you can see the architect wanted to keep some of the old charm connected to the building.

Guest Experiences- Where we are at in Public Services

Submitted by ebedford on Thu, 03/10/2022 - 10:57

We wanted to formally announce that Bethany was the library location selected to be the pilot library of Guest Experiences. Bethany was chosen to start this process first for several reasons. These include that they are in a newer building and therefore guests and staff are learning to interact in a different way than they previously did and that their actions have indicated that they have a strong desire to go in the Guest Experiences direction.
