Community Information Screen

Advertise your nonprofit group's upcoming events on the display monitor in the library lobby. Around 30,000 visitors come through our doors each month, making the screen the perfect place to tell the community what your organization has planned.

The screen shows a rotation of PowerPoint slides; only basic knowledge of the program is required to create and submit slides. PowerPoint is available on many home computers and in the library; Adult Services offers classes to help get you started.

How to create and submit slides

• Slides are based on PowerPoint templates made to fit the screen.
• Click a template below. Depending on your computer settings, a dialog box may appear on your screen. If it does, click "Open."
• Place your mouse in the slide, right click, and choose "Edit Slides."
• Make changes to the slide. The library will display the slide exactly as submitted; be sure all information is accurate.
• Click "File," "Save As," and save the slide to your computer or storage device.
• Email your slide as an attachment to Administration. Indicate the date and the number of weeks (1, 2, or 3) you'd like the slide to appear.

Usage guidelines apply.
