It may feel a little different than browsing the titles shelved by genre in a spacious room filled with books, but Perry Memorial Library is finding new ways to make sure its patrons have access to the newest additions to its collection – all from a computer screen in the comfort of their homes or workplaces.
Wowbrary is a free service that sends email alerts to let patrons know what’s new in the library each week. “The alerts feature everything from the latest bestsellers and children’s books to audio books and movies,” according to information received at WIZS from the library. The alerts are free and do not require a library card. Sign up at Wowbrary.org.
Another service that patrons can access is a new mobile printing service. Send documents to the public printer at the library from your laptop or mobile device. There is a limit of 10 pages to print. But for the next few days, the service is free! Beginning Monday, Feb. 15, 2021, each copy will cost 10 cents for black and white, 25 cents for color. Simply visit the website (or click here) — Printer On Mobile Printing — follow the instructions and you can pick up your copies at the library through curbside pickup.
Patrons may call the library to confirm that the print job was processed.
You can also email files to:
970251737@printspots.com or pml-black@printspots.com for black & white
203170792@printspots.com or pml-color@printspots.com for color
Curbside pickup is available for all holds as well. The library is open, even though, at this time, patrons may not enter. Curbside pickup is available Monday-Friday from 10am-6pm. Library staff will contact you when your item is ready and you can pick it up at the curb. Please contact the library 252.438.3316 to get help placing a hold. The library is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
