From the Library Director . . .
You may have noticed that we recently launched our brand new website. Our new site can be easily viewed on a variety of devices, including tablets and smartphones. We reorganized and added information to better showcase all that's available in programs and services, and to more effectively provide important information about the library.
Another great feature of our new design is the capability for library staff to easily maintain and update the website's content - from any computer, anywhere. This allows us to keep it as current and up-to-date as possible.
We rely on our website to be a valuable tool and resource for all who visit it. Since introducing the previous website redesign more than six years ago, you have provided valuable feedback regarding its usefulness and functionality. We will continue to tweak and update our new site, always looking toward making it friendly, easy to navigate, and just plain good. If you haven't already, please take a look - www.cornwallpubliclibrary.org. Let us know how you like it. You may e-mail your comments to Beth Texter at [email protected].
