New Trial Database - Brain HQ

We are testing a new database called brainHQ.  (it is sort of similar to Lumosity, but for libraries)
We think it might be good for our patrons and it may coincide with the theme of the Adult Summer Reading Club.

Please give it a try as soon as possible.  here are the login instructions:

Summer Battle of the Books

Teens entering grades 6 through 9 may come in and inquire about Battle of the Books.  The informational meeting was held on Wednesday, June 1st.  Some were not able to attend the meeting and need to pick up books, calendar and information brochure.  The remaining books are in the YA area in the cabinet below the bulletin board.  Please limit to 4 books per teen.  Please give them a calendar and brochure from the yellow folder also in cabinet.  The teen should sign his/her name and the books that they took.

Charging Station

Hello,

 

I purchased a 6 port USB charging hub for the YA Desk.  It is able to detect the power needs of any device plugged into it.  For instance, it will output more power to charge an iPad than it would for an iPhone.

 

It has 3 Lightning cables (new iPhones and iPads), 1 Android cable and one 30-pin cable (Older iPads and iPhones).   

 

Thanks,

Ryan
