Davis libraries boosting technology, resources for users

Last updated Thursday, April 5, 2012 - 7:08pm

FARMINGTON — As library patrons increasingly use electronic media to access information, Davis County Library is working to meet their demands.

Libraries have historically been a major source of knowledge, traditionally in the form of paper books. However, with the increased use of technology, libraries are beginning to expand their resources.

Davis County Library is working to enhance its technology assets by purchasing more e-books, offering online learning games and tools for children and providing access to online car repair manuals, genealogy databases and foreign language courses.

KAYSVILLE -- Crowded around tables, children busily painting tiny pumpkins -- and as one child stood up to leave, another was there to take the vacated place.

Kacy Wilson attended the Monster Mash & Dash with two of her children -- Rafe and Ripley -- who sat at opposite tables, causing their mom to run back and forth to help each of them.

"The kids have enjoyed this a lot," Wilson said of the city-sponsored event Saturday evening at Heritage Park. "They have been begging me to paint pumpkins. They have seen signs around town (about the event) and have been looking forward to it."

You awake to the sound of ear-splitting screams. Your heart immediately goes into overdrive. Has someone been injured? Has the violence of the nearby neighborhood finally spread to your own?

Part of you wants to get out of bed and investigate. The other wants to hide beneath the covers and hope whatever caused the screams will stay outside.
