The Alexandria Makeover is here! See what has changed. 
October 2, 2022
Bulletins got a makeover! Not only does it look snazzier, but it's mobile friendly and works better with Google forms. Time to break out the newsgroup signups and book quizzes! Are you having a book fair? You can make a special bulletin for the fair, and add a Google form to easily let patrons and volunteers sign up.
How to Add a Google Form to your Bulletin
- Create the Google form you want to include in your bulletin.
- Go to Tools > Bulletins and click the
icon in the bottom left to create a new board. - In your finished Google form, click the Send button in the top right. This will open the top window shown on the right.
- Click the < > section, then select and copy and HTML show under "Embed HTML."
- Paste the HTML into the Bulletin Text box in Alexandria.
- Make sure to click Save when you're done!
Got a more in-depth form to share? Link to them using html: <a href="http://form.url">form name</a>
Bulletins is currently accessed through Tools in Alexandria, but soon Bulletins will be listed under the new Builder section of the Alexandria Makeover.
A book fair isn't the only way you could utilize the new bulletin features.
- Create bulletins for specific teacher assignments or projects
- Volunteer sign-ups
- Track reading challenges for patrons.
- Help student-run clubs and school teams
- Inform your patrons about special events at your library.
- And more!
