Belmont Library Introduces New Website July 1

The Belmont Public Library will have a new release that you won't be able to take home.

On Thursday, July 1, the library will launch its new website that will provide a better way patrons and visitors to access resources and learn about the library and events being held.

Emily Smith, Belmont's technology librarian, said that the site has a more inviting and color look than the previous one. Two software consultants built the site using a content management system as a base which should allow quicker uploading of information since librarians will not be required to have an advanced degree in computer since to input data.

There will be separate pages for teens, children, Friends of the Library and a readers page. Smith added the library site will support social media outlets such as Twitter, Flickr and Facebook.
