Library
System is the
Key to the Future
With the help of a generous grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and a lot of hard work by staff and volunteers, the new Mandarin Library System went live on May 12, 2006. The new system not only replaces an old, unreliable system, but is the key to offering better service to library patrons through the internet. Project manager and Library Board Member, Doug Hutton, says that the project required a huge amount of effort from everyone involved. Susan Mycroft, Library CEO, was instrumental in making the decisions on how to customize the system to meet the needs of North Kawartha Public Library. Pat Hoffman, Assistant Librarian, helped to extract information from the old library system. Doug and Mike Jackson are proud that, of the eight libraries in North America going through a similar conversion, only North Kawartha was able to convert the data without the help of expensive consultants. The project has been on time and on budget but not without its trials and tribulations. Susan says that “at one point we locked ourselves out of our own system. Fortunately, a quick call to Mandarin reset the system for us.” The new system does much more than the traditional library functions. Patrons can search the library catalog for books, make reservations, and will able to see what they have already read, all from their computers at home. E-books, are coming soon as are many magazines and newspapers through a provincial program called Knowledge Ontario.
The
Paudash Trail Blazers Snowmobile Club is pleased to announce that three
(3) driver training courses have been scheduled for the 2006 – 2007
season. These courses are open to any person 12 years of age or older who
does not have a valid Ontario License of any class and wishes to obtain
the Province of Ontario Snow Vehicle Operator's License, or for those who
wish to obtain a safety certificate from the MTO.
