SWON Libraries // Weekly

Everyone likes a little Pi... 


What do you know about Raspberry Pi? Not the kind you eat, obviously, but the kind you can build a computer with! Heard the buzz? Never heard of it? Either way, now’s the time to learn all about it during one of our upcoming Level-Up Labs! 

Our popular Level-Up Lab series is back! These labs provide an opportunity for hands-on and in-depth learning about a variety of topics from the technical – like working with the Raspberry Pi  <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2386106&ymlink=5712930&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D803209%26group%3D> – to the personal – such as our lab for women in leadership roles <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2386106&ymlink=5712930&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D786810%26group%3D> . And we’re adding more every day. 

The Raspberry Pi lab will be led by Ann Schoenenberger, Digital Librarian and Certified Raspberry Pi Educator who works to level the playing field with technology at the Kenton County Public Library. 

Have an idea for a topic you’d like to see covered during a Level-Up lab? Let us know! Have an area of expertise you’d like to share with your collegues in the SWON service area? Contact us and we’ll see if we can schedule you to lead a lab of your own! In the meantime, don’t forget to register for May 16th’s Raspberry Pi lab <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2386106&ymlink=5712930&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fevents%2FEventDetails%2Easpx%3Fid%3D801484%26group%3D> !

Your patrons have questions. Make sure they get answers.


 <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2386106&ymlink=5712930&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fpage%2Fvendor%5Fdiscounts%23unique> 

Did you know SWON offers many discounts <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2386106&ymlink=5712930&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fpage%2Fvendor%5Fdiscounts>  for our member libraries? This week, we are featuring Unique Integrated Communications <http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=cassondra@swonlibraries.org&job=2386106&ymlink=5712930&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fswonlibraries%2Eorg%2Fpage%2Fvendor%5Fdiscounts%23unique> , who are offering SWON members a 10% discount. 

Would you like to free up your staff to work with patrons face-to-face, rather than have them spending time answering simple questions or helping patrons do routine tasks over the phone? Do some of your patrons call because they have difficulty using your automated systems or online renewal services? Unique Integrated Communications can help. Unique takes care of these tasks for you so that your staff can focus on the task at hand. 

Unique’s phone-based and live chat customer engagement solutions help drive usage of library materials, programs, and services. Count on Unique to be your customer service presence on the phone and online, and ensure convenient access for hundreds or even thousands of patrons per month who might otherwise have to wait for help, go without, or look for it elsewhere. Call Josh Neisler <mailto:josh at uniqueic.com?subject=SWON%20Discount>  at 812-207-2007 (office) 217-304-3324 (mobile) and mention SWON Weekly to get your discount!
