Springdale Public Library Introduces iPads for In-Library Checkout
The Springdale Public Library is excited to announce the addition of nine iPads available for checkout in June 2013, thanks to a generous grant from the James M. Cox Foundation. The iPads will meet public demand for opportunities to experiment with cutting edge technology and will also extend the number of public internet-enabled devices within the Library. The iPads are the first phase of a larger Computer Literacy Center project, which will ultimately include circulating laptops and regular computer classes.
As information and communication move increasingly into digital territory, the Library is committed to helping patrons adjust to emerging technology. Anne Gresham, Technology Coordinator of the Springdale Library, said, "Tablets are an increasingly popular and powerful means of distributing information, and providing iPads for checkout is a wonderful new way we can serve the educational, professional and recreational needs of our community."
The iPads will be available for 3 hour checkout periods for use within the library and will be preloaded with a number of applications (apps) selected by library staff. Patrons must present a valid photo ID and a library card in good standing. For more information, call 479-750-8180.
