New Catalog Update

We need more time, so the library compter systems will go offline on Thursday May 26 at 8 pm. Holds and renewals will not be available afer 8 pm Thursday and won't be available until Tuesday, May 31 at 10:00 am.

On Friday, May 27 the library will be operating offline. Please remember to bring your library card with you as we will be unable to lookup your information. New registrations, paying fines and other housekeeping items will have to wait until Tuesday, May 31.

To access your new library account, when you log in the first time - if the last four digits of your phone number do not work, try four zeros (0000). Email notification for holds, overdues, etc. may not work immediately. Please report any problems or incorrect fines to the library staff.

Thank you.

New Catalog System







Our library is getting a new circulation/catalog system


The library will be closed over the Memorial Day weekend on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, May 28-30. On Friday, May 27 at 3 pm you will no longer be able to place holds or renew items online.



On Tuesday, May 31, the library's new system will be operational. The online catalog will look different, but you will still have access to your account, including any lists you have saved in our former online catalog. Items that were returned in our bookdrop over the weekend will be checked back in and will not incurr any incorrect fines.



To access your new online account , you will need to use your library card number as your user name. Your default password will be the last four digits of your phone number. You will be prompted to change your password the first time you log in.



The new catalog features a simple-to-use basic serach and a robust advanced search. Placing holds will no longer require entering your library card for each hold. Accessing the resources of the other libraries in our network has been streamlined, so the materials of over 50 other public libraries are a click away.
If you have your email address on file with the library, you will automatically get alerts when your items are about to be due. You will also get hold notices and overdue notices in your email.
Please be patient with library staff as we learn and navigate through this new system. Having your library card with you will help us serve you faster.
Thank you.
