People often think that libraries are going out of style. No one reads books anymore now that we can get everything digitally, right? (Wrong! In fact, the majority of readers still prefer their books in print according to the most recent Pew research!) In reality, libraries have always been organizations that embrace new technologies and provide access to all manner of information and learning tools. Our library is no exception. The County of Prince Edward Public Library is a learning hub and offers access to a number of services, some of which might surprise you!
Can’t come to a branch? You can learn almost any language you wish with Mango Languages, an online language tutoring service.
We would love to hear how your progress is going, though we can’t guarantee we’ll be able to converse with you in your new language!
Ask us about our 3D printing services, our circulating e-readers, or programs that explore social media tools. Book a one-on-one appointment in our Technology Resource Centre to learn about new – or old! – technology trends. Register for one of our many technology workshops.
Is there a new piece of tech out there you’re curious about? Ask one of our library staff!
Of course, if you need a little more help, Krista in the archives is happy to track down family documents to help you truly understand your family’s past.
