Based on a survey asking about the use of its site, the library has designed a new site with improved navigation, increased accessibility, and user-friendly features to help the community get the most from their library experience.

The new streamlined website provides enhanced screen visibility, concise main menu options, and seamless access to popular services. It is easier than ever to navigate to account management, downloads and streaming, mobile printing, and our popular events calendar. Kids, teens, and adults have an updated page with connections to tailored content, including relevant resources and featured titles to help users find their next great read. With increased accessibility in mind, the site meets ADA compliance standards and ensures users of all abilities can navigate our site effectively.

Of course, the site will continue to grow, and library staff will still deliver the latest library news, FDL Reads reviews, events, service highlights, and more.
