[Michlib-l] Digital sign

[Marian Volek]

Our library purchased two 52" LG flat screen smart TVs two years ago. We have one in our reading room and one in the children's room. I create a slide show for each, with programming information, new books, featured authors, author birthdays, trivia and so forth. I do the slides in a Publisher file, then save them as JPGs to a flash drive, which plugs into the TV and plays continuously. I think we bought them through Demco for about $1,500 each two years ago. Hope this helps. Marian VolekWest Iron District Library116 W. Genesee St.Iron River, MI 49935906-265-2831westironlib.org

I use a 42" TV connected to a laptop and continuously run a PowerPoint slide show that I made. The TV is in a front window facing the street and we have had a good response from the community. This also allows us to be able to run the same slide show on our catalog and patron computers. It's very simple to add or delete slides so I include school events, community events and local meeting days & times.

 Is there any libraries that use an indoor digital sign for library events?  Like a TV screen that you use software to change and post the event to the TV screen?  If so, what do you use?  Where did you purchase and what was the cost?  Thank you for your advice and sharing!  Nannette Pretzer, DirectorSt. Charles District Library132 S.
