“We took our spinning wheel and lots of great prizes to the midnight premier of The Hunger Games movie at Kyova 10 Theater. Anyone who showed us a library card got to spin for a chance to win books from the popular series by Suzanne Collins, the movie soundtrack or some great BCPL stuff. And if they didn’t have a card, we signed them up for one! Let the Games begin!!! Then, in August, we hosted a premier party for the DVD release of “The Hunger Games,” complete with trivia, costume contest and archery (poor teddy bear), followed by a screening of the movie.”

“The library’s first-ever photo exhibit, called “Nightscapes,” runs Aug. 3 through Sept.4 at the Highlands Museum & Discovery Center, 1620 Winchester Ave. Forty photographers submitted their favorite original night scene – there are some really great shots! The opening reception is at 6 p.m. Friday. Aug. 3 (admission to the museum is free on First Friday). Regular museum admission prices apply during the rest of the exhibit period. “Nightscapes” is a part of “Between the Covers,” the adult summer reading program at BCPL which runs through Labor Day. A Best of Show award (and $50 prize) will be given at the Readers’ Night Out summer reading finale party on Sept. 7.”

Featured Resources and New Materials http://thebookplace.org/featured-resources-and-new-materials/ http://thebookplace.org/featured-resources-and-new-materials/#comments Fri, 29 Jun 2012 18:30:47 +0000 http://thebookplace.org/?p=12103 Continue reading ]]> On the homepage, there is now a section highlighting our resources/databases at random.  Sometime next week, I hope to have more department specific featured resources sections on each department page.  For example, the Youth Services main page will show a few childrens databases at random.  This is only to try to bring more exposure to our databases.

There is now a new materials link in the main menu, located at the top of thebookplace.org.  This points to our new book alerts just like the old website, but the firstbooklook.com page has been updated to our new website design.  So it’s safe to point patrons to that link to learn about new materials.  I’m wondering if the link should be placed in a different location on the website.  What do you think?

Great Jazz Titles Available http://thebookplace.org/great-jazz-titles-available/ http://thebookplace.org/great-jazz-titles-available/#comments Tue, 19 Jun 2012 20:07:09 +0000 http://thebookplace.org/?p=11874 Continue reading ]]> Did you know that you can checkout and download entire albums from the Boyd County Public Library online collection via OverDrive?!?! Well, you can.  While doing a quick browse-through today I noticed some really nice titles in the Blues & Jazz genre.  Here is a list of albums that jumped out on the first page:

These were all on the 1st page of the Blues & Jazz genre and there are 78 pages today.  I know there are other ways to download free music, but I bet it will be hard to find many of the titles found in OverDrive.  It is truly a great resource.

These albums are available for download to a PC, Mac, and iPod as well as other mediums as listed.  If an album is currently checked out, you can be placed on the waiting list just like you would for a physical book or CD.

Checkout OverDrive
