TA Tuesday: Maximizing you library card, jobs board, skilling up, and get/create a color palette

Get more from your library card

The Hustle delivers again: “Useful: See what library cards are reciprocal to yours, giving you access to more books on Libby.”

Two must-knows:

What is ReciproCard?

ReciproCard is a discovery engine that helps you figure out exactly how many library cards you qualify for. By mapping overlapping networks and reciprocal agreements across the country, we help you get more library cards so you can skip the wait for popular titles and unlock more free ebooks and audiobooks on the Libby app.

Wait, I can have more than one library card on Libby?

Yes! You can add multiple library cards to your Libby app, and using more than one library card can help reduce wait times by giving you access to more copies across different collections.


Help picking a color palette

If you need help choosing a color palette for a creative pursuit, a logo, or a flyer, check out the free P4lette.app. It’s flexible and easy to use. You can get random palettes, get a palette around a selected color, and more. Oh, and you can download your final palette, no charge, no sign up.


Housing job board

The Virginia Housing Alliance has launched their jobs board. There is a fee to post jobs but job seekers pay nothing to search. Current listings range from maintenance to property management to administration (policy, executive director).
