Altoona Area Public Library http://www.altoonalibrary.org en The Great Migration http://www.altoonalibrary.org/blog/great-migration Behind the scenes, over the past several months the staff of the Altoona Area Public Library have been preparing for a big move. The move has nothing to do with our physical location; it has to do with our data. On June 16th the library will officially be using a different ILS (Integrated Library System). ILS software helps us manage the vast amount of items and patrons we keep track of so you can check out our materials.<div class="field field-type-text field-field-blog-audience"> <div class="field-label">Audience:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Everyone </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://www.altoonalibrary.org/blog/great-migration" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Fri, 10 Jun 2016 20:15:24 +0000 Altoona Library 533760 at http://www.altoonalibrary.org Engage for Health: Questions are the Answer! http://www.altoonalibrary.org/blog/engage-health-questions-are-answer <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="filefield-file"><img class="filefield-icon field-icon-image-jpeg" alt="image/jpeg icon" src="http://www.altoonalibrary.org/sites/all/modules/filefield/icons/image-x-generic.png" /><a href="http://www.altoonalibrary.org/sites/default/files/engageforhealth_logo_small.jpg" type="image/jpeg; length=67422">engageforhealth_logo_small.jpg</a></div> </div> </div> </div> Today, as part of our PA Forward health literacy initiative, we were happy to have Christopher Holland, Physician Assistant at the UPMC Altoona Emergency Department, to assist in presenting a new pilot program titled, <em>Questions are the Answer.</em> The program was developed by The Hospital &amp; Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania and its Pennsylvania Hospital Engagement Network.
