Debuting Online Registration

Online Registration Now Available For Story Times!

 

The Vineland Public Library is now offering its patrons an easier way to register for programs going on at their library. Starting in March the library will begin taking sign ups for Baby Time, Toddler Time, and Preschool Story Time via online registration. Patrons will be able to sign up for these programs from the comfort of their own homes regardless of whether the library is open or not.

This is something new for our library and as such there are bugs to work out and improvements to be made. We hope to make online registration available for more programs in the near future.
