HPL website changes

A few months ago we rolled out a new website for HPL.  Since that time, we have received training for a number of our staff members in order to keep it updated.  You will begin to see changes to the site and the addition of fresh content with much greater frequency.

The calendar is one of our favorites so far, allowing us to provide easy-to-access information about everything that goes on here.  You can find the calendar from the "Find an Event" link at the bottom of the home page or by clicking "Programs & Services" on the navigation bar and then clicking "Calendar of Events".

Events on the calendar are color coded and the legend is located at the bottom.  If you only want to see certain types of events, click on the event type in the legend at the bottom and the calendar displays only that type.  Also, you can hover your cursor over an event and a small pop-up will give you more information about that event.  In the picture below, I was pointing at the first TALK book discussion for this fall.

As you can see from the picture, you can also check to see what non-library sponsored events are going on.  If you have a meeting coming up and you don't know when or where it is scheduled, just click "Meeting Rooms" and find all the details.

Another great feature is the search box in the upper right corner.  This can be toggled to search the website or to search the library's catalog.  You can also log in to your library account from here to check holds lists, or find other information.

As we continue to add more to the website, I will feature the changes here.  I am excited by the possibilities afforded us by this new tool and I think it will become a trove of information useful to all.
