Executive Director’s Notes In 2024, MCDL was on a roll. Sometimes literally. The Book Bike debuted in May at the Lodi Memorial Day Parade and had a full schedule at community events. It has an attached trailer, custom built by MCDL Maintenance Department staff, with enclosed shelves for books and all the technology we need. As school let out, we were excited to begin offering Adventure Passes to the Akron Zoo, Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens, Akron Art Museum, and Brunswick Recreation Center. Available on a first-come, first-served basis, these admission passes can be borrowed for up to a week. This fall, along with our CLEVNET partner libraries, we launched a new online catalog and app. The fresh interface allows you to search the physical and eMedia collection simultaneously, place and manage holds, view checkouts and due dates, edit account information, and more . We debuted a redesigned MCDL website in December that complements our new events and meeting room reservation software. The website utilizes the most current accessibility technology to ensure every community member can navigate it easily. Whether you’re booking a community room, browsing books, or registering for an event, I hope you find the new design user-friendly. I extend my thanks to MCDL staff, patrons, volunteers, Friends of the Library, Board of Trustees, and community partners for a productive year. I’m looking forward to working together in 2025 to advance the library’s mission to enrich life in the community with outstanding and innovative library services for all.
