T OPL embraces digital age and launches social media contest he word `library' has undergone a series of transformations spanning centuries, not unlike the institutions themselves. What was once an appropriate term -- springing from the Greek "bibliotheca" (bookshelf), the Latin "liber" (book) and Old English "bochord" (literally, book horde) -- has become an imprecise and misleading delineation. The truth is, what you expect from your library is changing, and it's time for books to share the limelight. Libraries will always be about providing educational, inspirational and thought-provoking content. Though the Oakville Public Library plans to maintain its collection of traditional library resources, it is readily embracing the digital age and actively using new technologies to connect people and ideas. In addition to its book clubs, creative programs for youths and author events, we offer a wide variety of electronic resources and free tech-help workshops that promote digital literacy. The library is rapidly expanding its collection of eBooks and eReaders, and actively using social media as a portal to connect users with intriguing articles, reading recommendations, creative inspiration and community/world literary news. In an effort to stay connected with the population it serves, Oakville Public Library will launch an exciting social media contest on Monday, Nov. 19. Residents of Oakville, aged 13 and older (as well as non-residents with Oakville Public Library cards) will have the opportunity to win one of two iPad minis by liking or following us on our social media accounts and completing a brief questionnaire. Full contest details and information on all of our innovative programs and services can be found by accessing the library website, www. opl.on.ca, or visiting us on Facebook and Twitter. 25 · Friday, November 16, 2012 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.insideHALTON.com -- Submitted by the Oakville Public Library $ Afra A.
