Sunday is the anniversary of the First Powered Flight by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903, which marked the beginning of a new form of transportation. The library is open for business as usual - or almost as usual. The staff has moved and condensed the book sections so that you will continue to have access to information and computers during the first phase of the renovation. The children's collection has been moved to 316 North Richardson, and children's programming will resume on January 10, with the Grand Opening of the temporary library annex. BOOK TALK Librarian Loretta Clark provides this week's book information.
Libraries are books, but in today's world, more than books.
Computers and Internet access in libraries now supplement the traditional print sources of information. Your Roswell Public Library is fortunate to have several databases that provide a wide variety of information from magazines, newspapers, and other print sources. The New Mexico State Library provides three of these databases to public, school, and academic libraries in the state. These databases provide access to information that the library might not be able to afford or not have room enough for all of the shelves needed to hold all of the materials in print form. It contains charts and graphs, as well as company records from Dunn and Bradstreet.
