Today we were closed to the public for a fantastic day of staff and volunteer training. It was lovely to get everyone together in one place. Ideas were shared and lots was discussed. A huge thanks to Beat4autism for a brilliant talk and CornishPod for a tasty lunch. A very inspirational day! Thank you all 🙏

Don't forget we are closed tomorrow so we can spend some time with our fabulous volunteers and all take part in training. Thank you for your patience 🙏

If you are not used to using the Cornwall Libraries catalogue to access your account, or browse, reserve and renew books, not to worry, here are six easy steps in to becoming on Online Library mastermind 🤯🏆🤓 ...
📒 Firstly, visit https://prism.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/cornwall/ and enter your library card number in the box marked membership number. Then click login.
📕 This screen shows which books you have on loan – you can renew books from here if you wish by clicking on renew.📗 To search for a book click in the box that says enter a keyword… and type in some basic information about the book. You do not have to put in the whole title. If you are searching for 'A Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens – then just typing 'cities dickens' should find it. If this produces lots of results then just add another word to refine the results.
📘 A list of results should be displayed. The information next to each cover tells you a little bit more about this edition. It might say, for instance, paperback, hardback, Large Print or CD audiobook. Find the edition that you prefer and click on check availability
📙 Near the picture of the book cover you will see a box which says Reserve. Check that the library branch you wish to collect from is in the Collect From box and, if correct, click on Reserve. If the branch is incorrect (i.e. it says ‘Bodmin Library’, but you wish to collect from ‘Saltash Library’ then use the drop-down list to select the correct branch).
📔 After clicking Reserve you should see a screen which says Reservation Placed – congratulations, you have successfully reserved a book! If you wish to reserve another book then use the enter a keyword search box and start again.
You will receive either a telephone message or an email to inform you it is ready to collect.
