Library to feature new technology

Many aspects of the new North Port library highlight the fact that it serves

many roles beyond loaning books, periodicals and other media. For example, there will be more computers and charging options for tablets, laptops and smartphones, as well as a collaboration room, where several students can hook their tablets in while viewing their work on a large video monitor.
