Recently we published a post about a new resource from the Pennsylvania Power Library called Cloud Library. It is a new alternative to hoopla.

Unfortunately the information on how to access Cloud Library was not accurate. A Power e-card and PIN is required to use Cloud Library and Libby through Power Library.

Use the link below and follow the instructions for Option 1 to sign up for a Power e-card. You will then receive an email with your new e-card number. There will be a link in the email to set up a PIN.

So I may not know how to pronounce it but I know it has everyone (including our patrons) very upset and scared. So why not offer them actual resources with information they can actually trust! Send them to MedlinePlus!

MedlinePlus actually has trusted and valuable information about so many medical issues, drugs, genetic testing (and medical testing as a whole) that you and your patrons can feel safe trusting. Whether they just want to know signs and symptoms of a common illness their child caught at school or are concerned about a long held belief about a possible genetic issue in their family line you can send them to MedlinePlus knowing the information is trustworthy.

So – if your patrons (and maybe you as well) are worried about this current parasite outbreak here is the page with facts you can trust.

Stay safe and healthy,
