Take A Tour of the New AV Department

Take a little peeksie at the library's flashy CD music section, divided by musical style. When completed, it will feature browser friendly and clearly labeled flip bins for the entire collection and rotating selections from the library's music-related book and DVD collections. Did I say flip bins? I sure did.


The audiobook, DVD and VHS collections also get fancy digs, in a forest of spacious shelves and displays. And, thanks to our wireless Internet connection, you can now search the catalog on your laptop from any of the library's hip new seating areas. Think of it as your own private park, where a festival of entertainments and information awaits. Only here, it's always sunny.

And did I mention the kiddies? They get a music bin all to themselves, in the Children's "Pond."

Welcome to the NEW Conyers-Rockdale Library.
We rock. Totally.

The AV Department Gets a Whole New Look.

Remember the old days? The CDs were next to impossible to look through, the DVDs were crowded together in plastic boxes on the wall, the lighting was nearly nonexistent, and browsing the collection was a nightmare. Well, no more. The Conyers-Rockdale Library has officially reopened its newly renovated upstairs area, and the Audio-Visual department proudly takes front and center. Thanks to our spankin' new, bright'n'shiny shelving, it's easier than ever to find that movie, audiobook or music cd you were looking for. Over the next few weeks, we will be making adjustments and additions to the shelving, including more music bins, all with an eye toward making this AV department (and library) among the best.

New in Music-related Books: The 50th Law by 50 Cent

Fear nothing, and you shall succeed. This is the philosophy embraced by 50 Cent, who offers life lessons and business advice in this book, co-authored by Robert Greene (The 48 Laws of Power). Highlighted by stories from 50's early life on the streets and during his rise through the hip-hop industry, The 50th Law is part autobiography and part self-help guide on what is needed to survive and thrive in business and in life.
