**UPDATE**

The issue reported earlier today regarding Kindle fulfillment has been resolved and Kindle books have been restored at your OverDrive-powered website. Users can borrow and download titles from Amazon as normal.

***Important Notice for Kindle Users*** From Library2Go
Kindle users may be prompted to ‘Buy now with 1-Click’ when attempting to download a Kindle book from this website rather than being taken to a page to redeem their checked out eBook title . Unless you want to buy the title, do not click this option. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

UPDATE:

While we continue to work with Amazon to resolve this issue, we have temporarily disabled the Kindle book format from your OverDrive-powered website. Users will not be able to borrow, download, or place a hold on Kindle books during this time. However, Kindle books currently checked out will not be affected.

We will continue to update you when we have additional information.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

You can now search our catalog from home, you can renew your books, reserve a book to be picked up at the library, Rate & Review books you’ve read, see if you have fines . Your log in is the same one you use for Overdrive.

The link to the catalog is on the right hand side of this page. We hope you will explore it and enjoy this new feature offered by our library.

I am the kind of person who hates when they change website designs, sometimes they are for the better and I just need to get used to it, although I will grumble about it the entire time. So when they changed the Library2Go site I wasn’t sure what to think, however I have now looked around the new site and have to say I love the changes! They have made it much more user friendly; the one update I am loving is the ease of adding books to your wishlist you just click the little ribbon and it is added, so easy! Also removing books from wishlist is infinitely better, before you had to click remove then it would refresh the page and you would have to scroll to find where on your list you were, now you click on the ribbon, click yes remove from wishlist and you are still right where you were on the page so much better and more user friendly than it was before.

I also like the new search interface it gives you many more options in searching, when you click on the menu button you will see all your format options, click your format, then you have many options for searching by, subject, format, publisher and ratings just to name a few. I myself enjoy the ratings tab you can search only for books that are 5 star and see what books have low ratings to see if you agree.

The your account tab is much better now too you don’t have to page back everytime you click on different landings the other options are still available on the side bar which is very easy to use with larger fonts and is much more user friendly than it was before.

All in all I myself am very happy with the updates to the Library2Go website and I hope you will all go and play around with it and let me know what you think.

National Library Week 2013

Communities matter @ your library: celebrate National Library Week April 14-20

(New Rockford,ND) –This week, the Eddy-New Rockford Library joins libraries in schools, campuses and communities nationwide in celebrating National Library Week, a time to highlight the value of libraries, librarians and library workers. 

Libraries today are more than repositories for books and other resources. Often the heart of their communities, campuses or schools, libraries are deeply committed to the places where their patrons live, work and study.  Libraries are trusted places where everyone in the community can gather to reconnect and reengage with each other to enrich and shape the community and address local issues.

Librarians work with elected officials, small business owners, students and the public at large to discover what their communities needs are and meet them.  Whether through offering e-books and technology classes, materials for English-language learners, programs for job seekers or those to support early literacy, librarians listen to the community they serve, and they respond.

The Eddy-New Rockford library serves Eddy County by providing new bestseller, downloadable ebooks and audiobooks, one on one computer classes, wireless internet access, public use computers, a place for meetings, GED classes, and much more.

“Service to the community has always been the focus of the library,” said Susie Sharp, Librarian “While this aspect has never changed, libraries have grown and evolved in how they provide for the needs of every member of their community.”

The Eddy-New Rockford Library is celebrating National Library Week by having a week long Chocolate Extravaganza come in every day for a different chocolate dessert and samples of Lindt Chocolate which you can order all week.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. 

For more information, visit the Eddy-New Rockford Library at 10 8^th St. N. call 947-5540 or see the library’s Web site at http://www.newrockfordndlibrary.com/ or our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NewRockfordPublicLibrary Libraries hours are Monday 2-8 Tues.-Fri. 11-6.
