Many of our digital services have been updated in 2019 with brand-new features to enjoy, provided by Washington County Cooperative Library Services. Kanopy has a new, unlimited video streaming service just for children called Kanopy Kids. Enjoy great movies, TV episodes, and animated books! Starting on July 1, Kanopy is changing the lending model for the many Great Courses series, so that a whole series will be available in its entirety for 30 days with one click, and patrons won’t be charged a play credit for using them. Check it out at wccls.kanopy.com. Overdrive and Libby, our e-book resources, now have access to two new browsing sections: Always Available Audiobooks and Spanish language titles. These new titles are here just in time for Summer Reading. Get started at wccls.overdrive.com. Heard about a book on NPR? Novelist Plus, our readers’ advisory e-resource, now tracks the media mentions of titles in articles and in the news. Use Advanced Search for media mentions at wccls.org/research/novelist-plus
