Racine – If you haven't been to the Racine Public Library lately, you may have missed some of the new and exciting changes being made to improve library service, or the ways in which you can now support your Library. The Library is located at 75 Seventh St. in beautiful downtown Racine. Stop in and visit us this holiday season. There's always something happening at the Library.
Library makes it easier to find materials: To make items easier to find, library staff are creating "neighborhoods" within the adult collection. These neighborhoods are designed to keep all related materials from the collection in one area. Where books may have been previously shelved in a variety of areas according to Dewey numbers, some will now be found together under one general section.
The first to become a neighborhood is the Travel Section, which now includes information on hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfasts, etc. Patrons of the library will also find that Mystery and Romance books have been organized the same way, with collections of short stories, hardcover and paperback books all arranged in one area.
Video movies have also been reorganized, with VHS and DVD videos now being shelved alphabetically together rather than by separate format.
If you have any questions about where to find an item, please do not hesitate to ask our friendly and informed reference staff located at any public service desk.
Wireless printing now available: Patrons who regularly use the Library's wireless service, available on the second floor, will now have wireless printing options available as well. With the simple download of the virtual printer driver, users can send their print job from their personal computers to the Library's public Internet printer and print copies for .25 a page. For an instruction sheet on how to proceed with wireless printing, please visit the Adult Reference Desk.
