The library will be launching a new catalog on Thursday, November 20. From November 15 - 19, our current system will be unavailable while we transition to the new system. Library services will remain available, but we do recommend holding on to any library items you need to return until after Thanksgiving break. Please call one of our libraries if you have any questions.
