HART COUNTY LIBRARY WEBSITE

WEBSITE & CHANGES

• The Hart County Library Website does not have a search option on the site for our patrons to search anything, including events or books that the Third Thursday Book Club have read.• Since I facilitate the book club, my goal is to

create a tool that patrons and the facilitator can use to search books read in book club according to a variety of data points such as: author name, date read or book title.• I created three tables: Author, Books, and Date.

TABLES

• I created three tables. • The Author table has an ID number, First Name

and Last Name• The Book Table has Book ID number, Title, Author

ID number, Book type (Fic or Non Fic) and Genre.• The Date Table has the Date Read, Author ID

number and Book ID number.
