Curl Up with a Good Nook

Beginning in July, there will be two Nooks available for circulation in the Adult Services department and two more available for our homebound library patrons. The Nooks will be pre-loaded with a selection of new bestsellers and classic titles. The Nook software allows users to change the text to accommodate readers of both regular and large print books. For more information about checking out a Nook, adult patrons should call the Reference Desk at 708-428-5151 and homebound patrons can contact Kelly Cuci in Outreach Services at 708-428-5114.

 

Go Greener with Kill-A-Watt™

ComEd's Smart Ideas for Your Home SM program has donated two Kill-A-Watt™ energy meters to the library for circulation to our patrons to help residents learn about and reduce energy consumption. With it, you'll be able to measure how much electricity your household appliances and electronics consume. Each Kill-A-Watt™ meter kit circulates to Orland Park Public Library cardholders for one (1) week and comes with an easy-to-follow instruction card and worksheet to help you convert electricity use into the corresponding dollar amount. To checkout a kit, please see the staff at the Circulation Desk.

 

OPPL Introduces Roving Reference

Look for librarians wearing buttons that say Ask Me! the next time you are visiting the library. These staff members will be "roving" the aisles to bring reference services directly to you with a portable tablet computer. The librarians will be able to assist you in finding books, placing holds and looking up information from anywhere in the stacks. If you need help be sure to Ask Me!

 

Patron Cancel Holds

Our online catalog (SWAN) has just unveiled a new feature that patrons will be excited to learn. In addition to placing holds, patrons may now go to their SWAN account and cancel any holds they no longer need. Simply proceed to your SWAN account, click on "Requests (Holds)" and choose to "Cancel Selected" or "Cancel All" holds. If you need assistance, a staff member will gladly guide you through the process. Just call the Circulation Desk at 708-428-5105.
