“You can do that at the library?” “You already have that new release?” “I can do that for free?” The staff members at the New Westminster Public Library hear comments like these on a regular basis. The library offers a number of resources and services that you may have never thought of. And best of all, most of these services are free!
Do you urgently need to send signed documents to your lawyer, who’s vacationing in Tuscany? The library’s got your back. Staff can scan up to five pages in black and white or colour and send them to your personal email address.
Do you have an essay that’s due today and your dog decided your printer cartridge was breakfast? Send your print job to the library from your computer or mobile device and come in to print it in black and white for just 20 cents per page. Check out the various options on the NWPL’s Mobile Printing web page.
Do you need to learn how to use PowerPoint today so you can impress your boss with a brilliant presentation tomorrow? No sweat! Use your library card to gain access to lynda.com, an online resource that includes more than 3,500 high-quality technology courses and video tutorials.
Were you on a meditation retreat when that five star blockbuster film hit the theatres? Dang! Good thing the library regularly receives hot new releases once they become available on DVD.
Did your neighbour just install an awesome new stereo system and you want to get an even more awesome stereo system? Blast your tunes till dawn because the war of the stereos is on!
