SSJCPL On the Cutting Edge

Well, certainly on the cutting edge in 1994! Take a look at the promotional video some creative library folks at SSJCPL put together 16 years ago in order to get out the word about the services the Library has to offer. The video is a hoot for many reasons. SSJCPL has long been considered a great library and, from today's perspective, those services that were great back then seem just a little quaint today. Also, many of the people in this video are still working hard to provide outstanding service to the community today; seeing them in their 1994 persona is fun!

Each clip takes a few seconds to start so be patient:



And part two:



The thing is, while these videos provide some good laughs, the spirit that led folks at SSJCPL to create a video promoting their services (presumably for local access cable?) 16 years ago, when such ideas weren't in wide practice across the library community, tells you something about this Library. I'm lucky to be the newest member of a group that has a long tradition of innovation and dedication to customer service!

Today, we've joined all of the contemporary versions of communication that parallel the 1994 incarnation of 2.whatever. You can follow SSJCPL on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube (we're on Yelp, too) by looking for our username: SSJCPL on all channels!
