Introducing the New and Improved Library Website!



Cannon Memorial Library's New Website!

You've probably noticed that our Library's website has a completely new look!  More streamlined for increased efficiency, these recent rennovations were designed to help better serve you so that you can find the information and resources you're looking for faster and easier!  

Our Library Director, Brent Short, explains the objectives that guided the website remodeling: 

     "One of our main aims with the new library website was to 
      make it much easier to use.  We provided a straightforward 
      web design with drop down menus which reduce the amount
      of clicks it takes to get directly to the resources we offer.

       "We were after practicality, not slickness.  We want a 
        website that's not necessarily pretty to look at, but one that
        increases the chances of our patrons getting to what they
        want as quickly as possible because we think that's what
        our patrons really want as well."

             "There will be other changes in the not-too-distant future, 
          I'm sure, but for now we wanted a website that was
          uncluttered, and where everything was easy to find and  
          to get to."

As we continue to fine-tune certain aspects, we appreciate your patience as we believe you will find our final website destination well worth the drive to get there.  In the meantime, let's journey through some of the major changes together...
