CALENDARS

I am working on figuring out how to attach a calendar to this blog. As Libraries and Friends groups inform me of upcoming events, I'd like to add them to a calendar so you have one spot to see all the things happening regarding libraries up here in God's Country. I'll either work hard on this project myself or find some 11 year old kid to do it for me.

And speaking of calendars, there's been a technology breakthrough at the Marathon County Public Library. They used to issue a monthly newsletter outlining events at their library for that month. They've installed new software on their website that will be updated DAILY showing what's happening in Wausau as well as all nine of their branch locations. Check it out at http://www.mcpl.lib.wi.us/calendar/

Perhaps a Google or Yahoo calendar would work? Setup is free at http://calendar.google.com or http://calendar.yahoo.com/ . Here's one example of a library using Google's:

Thanks, Nicole!

I'm working on some other things first, like ways to import pictures onto the blog, but should tackle the calendar situation yet this month. My biggest problem at present, because of the newness of the blog, is getting input from libraries and their friends groups, instead of having to do extensive event research on my own.
