Library Administrator Shenreikah Faustin says it’s perfect for those who can’t always visit in person and want to stay current with 21st century reading standards.
For younger readers, the library has introduced “ivox” which allows children to use tablets or other devices to read and be read to by interactive technology.
And since the introduction of these new technologies, membership at the library has seen an uptick.
