<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here ‘s a quick update on what’s happening at CADL. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Online Surplus Store <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">CADL now has an online store as a way to sell off old equipment. This project was put together by Desktop Specialist
<span style="color:black">Jonathan Nobach, </span> IT Director Sheryl Cormicle Knox
<span style="color:black">and </span>Finance Director Pat Taylor. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Blind Date with a Book</b> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We recently completed this promotion which included both a digital and physical version. According to Collection Development Director Thais Rousseau, from 2/1-2/15 we had 7,927 digital checkouts on hoopla. We found members were checking
out the featured Blind Date titles, as well as additional titles through hoopla. The highest use dates were right after our first email blast about the promotion which set records for hoopla use. We had 716 checkouts on 2/2/20 and 603 on 2/3/20. The five eBooks
we were promoting were the top circulating titles during that time for us, beating out even the popular audiobooks.
