Employment at the Library
Elton Branch Has Gone Online with High Speed Internet!
Kristie and Marlene are ready to bring their community online!
As of Thursday, August 12, Marlene and Kristie of the Elton Branch Library are ready to help patrons in their community transition to the online system.
High speed Internet and wireless service are up and running inside the Borucki grocery store, two new computers are in place, and patrons of this busy stop on Hwy. 64 are buzzing!
One more thing needs to be put in place (a receipt printer), but visitors to this branch library can begin filling out patron applications for library cards if they don't already have a V-Cat barcode.
The week of August 23 will see Elton added to the V-Cat list of locations for delivery of consortium library materials. Stay tuned for developments!
White Lake Hits Second Record Month!
In June, the first month that the White Lake branch library went online, the circulation was 257. July's circulation for White Lake is nearly as good and is still reflecting record numbers compared to past years: July's circulation was 244!
Since White Lake became a part of the V-Cat consortium, 32 new patron records have been created in White Lake. These people did not previously have a library card in Antigo or any neighboring communities. The White Lake branch is a busy place these days, and we are all very happy about that!

GREENR Database Purchased for One Year
Global Reference on the
Environment, Energy, and
Natural Resources
GREENR (Global Reference on the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources) is a new online resource that offers authoritative content on the development of emerging green technologies and discusses issues on the environment, sustainability and more.
APL has decided to purchase this database for one year. This decision was made because GREENR makes a tremendous effort to bring together not only matters of environmental concern, but couples these with political, economic, and social issues. Even the job market is included.
