For whoever implemented the new library system here at OPL, it's amazing. I have to stop myself from feeling smug when I see other systems...Thanks.

I love the new library web site! It is very simple to use and provides many excellent features. Thank you!
- J. S.

We've had great experiences with this web site. My oldest son (7) and I spend together time looking for books he would like. My son had no trouble using the old site, but now with this new site, even I can use it. ;-)
- B. P.

I just love the new site - more visually appealing and user friendly.
- T. N.

Best web site ever!!!!!!
- N. P.

Love the new site. Love all the features too! All the work and planning that must have gone into the new site's development and wide array of features must surely have created a world-class library site! Congratulations.
- A. L.

Love it...can't believe how much easier life has become!!
- C. P.

I am a huge fan of your new website!
- J. T.

I really like the new lists category. It makes it much easier to see what's new at a glance.
- M. M.

I am a Consultant in the software industry. I have a comment for you site: well done! Rarely am I pleasantly surprised with a web site, but I was with this one. Please pass my kudos along to the appropriate people - they did a great job.

It has been ten years since I've borrowed material from an Oakville library and my how things have changed. As a resident [of a neighbouring community of Oakville] who's used that library's website to reserve books, CDs and DVDs, I didn't think it could get any better. Thirty minutes on Oakville's website and I have been hooked. It is by far one of the easiest websites to navigate and just about everything I've wanted for the XXX Library website, you guys already have it! .... Thanks for making this form of a library experience so great and encouraging to come back to time and time again. Keep up the good work!
- L. S.

I love this new format and web site. It has been worth waiting for and is exactly what I have been expecting from the Oakville Public Library. Thank you.
- D. J.

I am very impressed with the new library user interface. It is very useful and informative.
- S. B.

I'm excited by the possibilities of the new site. Big improvement. Thank you.

I really like your new system. Previous books borrowed is particularly great for us "old folks" who can't remember what we have read....The whole process of holding a book seems much more streamlined.... Keep up the good work.
- D. C.

I have been exploring the website, and have enjoyed it so far. Navigation seems to be smoother and placing a hold on an item is much easier. So far so good! Keep up the good work on the website. Thank you.
- L. A.

I really like the new site - very informative with interesting content. I am thrilled at the new "Reminder" settings feature - it will really help me get my books returned on time. Thank you!
- C. R.

Wow!! ... Now that I am accustomed to your new system, I love it.
-B. C.

This has truly made checking books out easy.
Thank you
- C. B.

I do enjoy this site. I find it easier to access with a username. I also like having a picture of the book -- helps when I am searching for the missing book in the kid's playroom! Thanks!
- J. S.

I have only just recently started to develop three wonderful relationships with other OPL users via [the catalogue's ] new messaging feature, but they're rapidly turning into one of the highlights of my continued usage of the system. One of my messaging pen pals is a primary-school teacher with an extraordinary interest &knowledge of children's media &literature. Initially we hooked up when I approached with questions about children's music. The other 2 are rabidly serious film buffs who were attracted by my film reviews. Now all 3 are becoming valued sources of specialized information that interests me greatly and (perhaps even better) is geographically targeted to materials available locally. These 3 connections are also enabling me to expand &explore different facets of myself in an interesting, new way.

I love the website and being able to "browse the library" at home.
- D. E.

I think the new website is awesome!!! I am totally amazed at what I have found so far. We are so lucky in Oakville to have such a marvellous resource. Keep up the great work!!
- M. G.

I love the updated site. Not only the site is terrific but also the service that follows it. It's so easy to navigate and to manage my account. The ability to place a hold on books and the easy to read notification on the side bar makes it even more valuable. I will visit the site regularly. Outstanding!
- G. N.

I like this site, so far, based on what I've explored. I love the fact that you can provide feedback, suggestions, as well as the daily reminder of due items! Thanks for the improvements to the site!
- A. P.

I think the new site is awesome! Totally web 2.0 - you've taken all the good practices of Amazon and Chapters-Indigo and worked them into a great, consolidated web presence. Love the star-ratings, the user-generated tags, the networking... I showed my Mum how to build lists and rate items yesterday. Bravo! I feel that this is showing my tax dollars put to good work. :)
- M. F.

I can't believe how much I use this website! I LOVE IT! It is a constant open tab (along with my Gmail website) on my computer. I've stopped contributing to Amazon and Chapters - they are just too big. With the OPL website, I actually feel like my comments and rating are going to be read and considered. I am able to keep track of what I read, what I liked, what my kids liked, what I want to read for later - it's great! Also, with two kids under 3 years old I find it difficult to browse the books for me (and them). I am thrilled with the "search the shelf" feature. Even though I find myself running in once a week to pick up a handful of holds, I'm also visiting more with my sons. Thank you so much for this upgrade - it really adds to the sense of community."
- C. G.

Excellent upgrade. ...Thank you.
- R. S.

This is my first visit to the new improved site. It is more visually appealing. I like the enhanced features such as user name logon (vs that oh-so-friendly barcode!) and reminder notifications.
- J. L.

Adore this! ...
- C. C.

Love the interactive nature of the system, and ways to Personalize your account and experience. I think the ability to network trusted sources is an innovative idea, and would make use of this.

I have only been in this system for 3 minutes and already I am very impressed! It is pleasing to the eye, easy to use and contains many more options than the current online system. It is very straightforward - no confusion here. I will continue to peruse this system and enter more feedback as needed. Thanks for the opportunity to give input :-)

I was pleasantly surprised to find the wealth of interactivity and community you are encouraging on your website. It's an excellent system, and it's obvious that a lot of hard work has been put into it. Colour me highly impressed.

I love the website and being able to "browse the library" at home.

I think the website is awesome!!! I only know a fraction of what is available on the site, but I am still totally amazed at what I have found so far. We are so lucky in Oakvile to have such a marvelous resource. Keep up the great work!!

I really like the contest idea and the prizes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Over some time I realized this new site is addictive!

I love the new site colours and the new book finder. It's cool!

This site has improved a lot....I am extremely impressed!!

Everything is wonderful!! Keep up the great work! I have found some great books that I otherwise wouldn't have known about.

I really like this new design. One thing that would frustrate me about the old web site is not knowing if I'd taken an item out before or not. Now it appears in my collection, so there is no longer any doubt. Thanks.

Great! Easy to use!
- B. M. T.

This is a great web site. I have really enjoyed using it and love the hold feature.
- S. B.

This is the first time I have used the site. It is fantastic....What a great service!
- A. M.

I think it is great that I can find what I need without having to drive all over town to all the libraries. Thank you very much.
- P. W.

I really like the new lists category. It makes it much easier to see what's new at a glance.
