We are introducing a free service from Libraries411.com to our members. Libraries411, a Counting Opinions product, provides custom online maps to specific libraries and library systems.

This service allows users to easily search for libraries in their region by IP, name or zip code. The map also provides markers with library contact information, and links to the library’s website. We currently know one member library (Riverside County Library System) that offers a link to their Libraries411 map from their website. You can find the link at http://www.riverside.lib.ca.us/default.asp under the branches tab.

Go to http://www.libraries411.com/ or to the Califa Member Map at http://califa.countingopinions.com/ to see how it works. If you would like to use this service, please contact Michele Alaniz at malaniz@califa.org for username and password. Califa will also host a webinar on January 25 at 10am for anyone interested in learning how to use this service. If you would like to sign up for the webinar, please contact Heather Teysko at hteysko@califa.org.
