They have an online collection catalogue that their users can look at.
Ideas of what I would do for this library would be to, 1 to try to give their website an upgrade, 2 figure out what the community enjoys in their past time; using this information will give the staff an idea what they can do to bring in new people.
Not only do they need to update their library, but they need to update their coding. An example is when clicking on News. You are brought to older news supplied by the library however, you see the latest news involving the library front page.
