Have you noticed that searching online isn’t quite the same as it used to be?

Instead of a simple list of websites, you’ve likely begun to see AI-generated answers, maps, or quick summaries before you ever click a link. In addition to typing inquiries, many people are also using voice assistants to ask questions like, “What time does the library open today?” or “Are there any story times this week?”

As the way people search continues to change, St. Martin Parish Library has worked to make sure our website keeps pace. We want it to be easy for you to find library hours, upcoming programs, digital resources, and everything else we have to offer. That means keeping our website updated and organized so it’s easy to find whether you’re searching on Google, using a voice assistant, or asking an AI-powered search tool.

Behind the scenes, we’re fortunate to work with our website partner, Firefly Marketing, to help ensure our website is built for the way people search today, not just the way they searched yesterday. As technology continues to evolve, we’ll keep working to make sure finding your library is as simple as finding your next great book.
