Cool Tools for your Browser

• HPL's own toolbar has a search bar, links to popular sites, weather, and RSS feeds.
• Would you like to see if a book that you are looking at on Amazon's or Barnes and Noble's pages is in the Lakeland Library Cooperative with just a click of your mouse? Well you can! Below is a Bookmarklet that you can drag to your tool bar. (Left click and hold the mouse button down, then drag it up to the toolbar, release the mouse button). Once it is installed, just click on it when you are looking at a book on another site. A new window will pop up if a Lakeland Library owns the book. You can then put it on hold.
