How do we even begin engaging with the vast stores of knowledge and wonder in a library? For many of us, the Dewey Decimal System gives us an entry point, breaking the library catalogue into more manageable groups. However, this system was developed in the 1870s and designed for American libraries. In today’s modern, global society, it can feel a little outdated. This is why one library in Aotearoa/New Zealand is trying something a little different. The team at Te Awe Library in Wellington is t

Chromebooks are incredibly versatile and can sometimes be the better option for a lot of users when compared to a full Windows laptop with all the bells and whistles. If you just need something with a larger screen than your phone to do the tasks you’d otherwise do there, then Chromebook is the way to go. Best Buy has the Lenovo Duet 11 Chromebook at a pretty sizable discount. Normally priced at $399, but for a limited time you can get it for $150 off (-37.5%). That brings it down to just $249.
