Welcome!

October 2010

We've started a blog! Here you can catch up on what we're doing, read about our history, check our hours or our new acquisitions. There will be surveys, polls, contests and patron book reviews in the very near future. Our look may change as we hear your suggestions. So as we start, we'd like to ask you for:

• your comments! Just click the word "comments" under each post and a form will open allowing you to leave a comment. If you have a Google e-mail address, you will be identified with your Google account.
• your blogs and websites! If you have a blog or website, please e-mail us immediately so we can add you to our blogroll!
• your reviews! If you like to share your opinions, we will have a place for you to do so. Just click the Share Your Book Review tab under the banner on top of the blog. We don't have to publish your identity, but we can if you don't mind!
• your subscription! Subscribe to the RSS feed so that whenever we post new information, you will know about it.
• your photos and videos! We have a Flickr site at http://www.flickr.com/photos/bartonpubliclibrary and would love to share your photos and videos. (We'll have a YouTube presence soon.) May we use them on the blog?
• your questions! If you have questions about anything (computers, technology, books, policies . . you name it), ask! Ask in the comments or in an e-mail.. We want your suggestions for improving the library, too!
• your Facebook! We'll soon have a Facebook page for you to either be a fan of or to like. Stay tuned!
• your ideas! We want and need your ideas!
• your memories . . . if you have memories to share of the library and/or Barton history or anecdotes, please share them.  
• your Tweets! Follow us at http://twitter.com/bartonpubliclib!

Be sure to check in on our blogroll (those are the blogs that we read) and our Shared Items (articles from the web that we want to share with you). You can find the blogroll under the banner of this blog in the Blogroll tab. You can find our Shared Items on the sidebar on the right. If you want to share with us, drop us an e-mail!

Come back soon to the blog and visit us in person soon!
