Welcome to the Nevins Library's new web site! Now when you point your browser to www.nevinslibrary.org, you are in for a whole new experience. The Library staff has been working hard with The Simon Group of North Andover to create anew site that will make it easier for you to discover ALL of the materials, services and opportunities that the Nevins Library offers. In recent years we realized that our site was serviceable, but not as accessible as it should be. While it had a lot of content, that content was difficult to find, and the format did not invite the viewer to explore further and find the range of information beyond the front page of the site. So we challenged ourselves and our partners at Simon Group to create a page that looked attractive and fun, but also would draw the user in, and would also reveal all of the library's offerings easily and quickly. We especially wanted to highlight our e-content -- downloadable e-books, e-audio, e-magazines and research databases. Each year we expand these 21st century offerings, but we know that a lot of you don't know that we even have them. So this new web site is designed for you to be able to find them quickly, allow you to isolate which service you want, and then download or open it efficiently. At the same time we know that you want easy access to our calendar of events, which is rich with all of the programming our library does. And finally we wanted to make sure you know about some of our other activities and offerings, including our Literacy Volunteers program, our Friends of the Library, the NevinsBuzz Blog, fundraising efforts, and new or unusual offerings like our telescope loan program or museum passes.

So, please, check out our new web site, and give us feedback. Email me at  kmcleod@nevinslibrary.org with any helpful suggestions or insights.
