Locations and Hours Renovations

Much like we renovate buildings or put new paint on the walls of our homes for a new look, the Locations & Hours pages have undergone a redesign. If you've relied on this button to get to your favorite location, it's been moved up the navigation and now appears in the #4 spot under Programs & Events. Why? This is based on hearing from you that locations & hours are one of the most sought after pieces of information!

When you click on the Locations & Hours button, the page looks more directory-like with the same information that was provided previously: address, contact information, hours. What we've added are amenity buttons which provide features specific to each branch. Need to find storytimes at Castlewood Library? The icon will find them for you! Need to know if a meeting room is available at Southglenn? Try the icon! What about programs at Kelver? You get the picture.......

Another new feature is the search the catalog box under each branch. By entering your search term, your results are limited only to that location and only to available items. We've tried to save you a few keystrokes and make the search more convenient for you. If you like the broader search of materials at all locations, the general search box at the top of the page provides that.

Lastly, when you click on the name of the library you are taken to information specific to that branch. In the near future, you will find articles and information posted about your favorite location.

Let us know what you think of these changes!
