Toward the end of this year, the Techmobile will be receiving a makeover in the form of a rewrap – giving it a whole new appearance! We have put together a committee of library employees representing the different facets of our library system, from adult services to teen and children’s services to administration, all of whom will have a say in what they think the rewrap’s design should include.

Here’s where you come in. What do you think of the Techmobile’s current design, and what would you do to improve it if you could? We’re looking for suggestions and visual critiques – what would catch your eye, and what would be most appealing to you in terms of looks when thinking of our bookmobile?

We’d appreciate any and all comments you have. Please feel free to leave a comment on the blog, or to e-mail techmobile@hcplibrary.org with your comments and suggestions by Friday, September 18th. While we can’t make any promises that we’ll take and run with your idea(s), we very much appreciate your input and would certainly love to be able to take into account ideas that we might otherwise overlook! We want the Techmobile to look its best and be its most useful to you.

Thanks for reading, and we will look forward to your suggestions – expect a “new look” from the bus by very early 2010!

Hello, and welcome to the blog for Hancock County Public Library’s Techmobile. We hope you’ll stop by often to find out what’s new with us.

It only seems appropriate that a vehicle dubbed “Techmobile” would harness some of the Web 2.0 technologies that are at our disposal. With that in mind, you can also find us on Twitter now – follow us, and receive up-to-the-minute updates of important information, like weather-related outages or maybe even fun stuff like, “Hey, our copy of The Watchmen was just returned.”

We hope that the blog can serve as an additional “value-added service” for you, our patrons and public. We have plans to add content that we hope interests you – employee reviews of materials you can find to check out from our bus (books, DVDs, music…we have it all!), occasional short focuses on stops we frequent, information on programs we may be presenting. And if you have ideas for things you would like to see, we would certainly welcome and consider those as well.

So give us a little time and we’ll get busy generating content we hope you’ll enjoy! In the meantime, drop by and see us out at one of our many stops and see for yourself all the cool stuff the Techmobile has to offer you!
