We are excited to report that the Library Director Search Committee of the Board of Library Trustees has begun the interviewing process for a new library director. In the meantime, staff members from the Grafton Public Library and the Town of Grafton are working in cooperation to keep things running smoothly and provide the same level of service to patrons.
Library staff have welcomed the new Head of Borrower Services, Mary Murtland, to the team. Mary is a former library director for the Town of Ashby and recently completed a Master of Library Information and Science (MLIS) at the University of Rhode Island. Please stop in to say hello!
The library has also welcomed three new temporary employees, Ramona B, Bridget O, and Meghan S, to our team. The temporary employees help to fill gaps in desk coverage in the event that a regular staff member is ill, out on leave, or when other scheduling issues arise. If you see a new face at the desk, please say hello!
In addition to new team members, patrons will be seeing new faces for our catalog and calendaring systems:
- As of Tuesday, February 27th, the library is transitioning to a new, more user-friendly platform to reserve museum passes, book study rooms, and register for events. The new calendaring program, Libcal, will replace the current Eventkeeper system. Video tutorials will be available on our website, and patrons are encouraged to contact the library if they need help with the new reservation system.
- On March 4th, the CW Mars library network is rolling out a new public catalog interface, Aspen. The updated catalog will come with a host of new features and functionality, including the ability to view and check out digital material from Libby, along with physical material, right from the catalog!
