Need a super portable, easy to use, fun projector for a program? Why not borrow our brand new ZTE Spro 2. You can connect the ZTE Spro 2 to a laptop using an HDMI or USB cable. However, what really makes the ZTE Spro 2 cool is the touchscreen it has built in to it. With this screen you can easily plug your flash drive directly into the projector and pull up Powerpoint slides or documents to project. But wait there’s more! Since the Spro 2 connects to WiFi you don’t even need a flash drive. You can pull up your Powerpoint slides right from Google Drive. You can also show videos using Netflix or YouTube right from the projector. The projector has a built in battery which may be perfect for a busy Young Adult room, no need to worry about patrons tripping over wires!

#LibrariesRespond to Natural Disasters

Libraries are an essential service in helping communities recover from natural disasters, including Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, and the recent wildfires in California. In Puerto Rico, on October 16, the San Juan Community Library opened its doors to patrons and began circulating materials, all without power or internet. According to Lisa Peet of Library Journal, mainland libraries are helping both financially and by hosting crisis mapathons. If you are interested in donating, visit the ALA Disaster Relief Fund (currently supporting libraries in the Caribbean Islands, Mexico, and Puerto Rico). Peet, Lisa. “Mainland Libraries Aid Maria Victims with Money, Mapathons.”Library Journal, 18 Oct. 2017, lj.libraryjournal.com/2017/10/academic-libraries /mainland-libraries-aid-maria-victims-money-mapathons/.
