New Catalog and Computer System
The Library's catalog will be getting an update in May to provide a better online experience.
As part of this transition, the catalog will be unavailable beginning 6:00 pm Friday, May 14 until 8:00 am Monday, May 17th.
- Your library barcode will remain the same.
- Some of your current account information (checkouts, holds, fines, addresses and phone numbers) will be available on the new system.
- Your PIN has been set to the last four digits of the phone number we have on file and can be changed once you log in to your account.
- Lists you have created in our current catalog will not be available in the new catalog. Print or email them to yourself before May 14th, or contact the library for help retrieving these lists.
With our new catalog, you'll be able to:
- Access our public catalog via any mobile device
- Search our E-book and print collection and check out from Overdrive/Bridges without leaving the catalog
- Easily browse all formats (print, e-book, audio book, etc.) of a title within one search result
- Receive suggestions for other related titles to check out while you wait for a hold to be filled.
- Review current checkouts, renew materials, and place holds online for physical and electronic materials
- Save searches so you're alerted when new materials arrive
- Select and change notification format preferences (text, email, mail) as well as how often you receive them
- Add your own tags, reviews and star ratings to titles
- Make purchase suggestions online
- Create, manage and share lists of your favorite books
- And much more!
Check out our new catalog after May 17! We hope you'll be as impressed as we are!
