Get Started With Our New Catalog

You can now get a sneak peek of our new online catalog! You can explore the new catalog, register for an account*, and begin using it to find Library materials. Our new catalog has smarter search features and intuitive filters that allow for a better browsing experience. You can place holds just like you’re used to, and the catalog will make suggestions for similar titles you can check out while you wait.

Looking for new materials? Check out the New & Coming Soon page. You can use the dropdown menus on that page to filter the new titles based on your preferences. There are also quick links at the bottom of the page for items that have arrived at the Library this week, have been recently ordered, and new items in various categories sorted by age group. 

We hope you love exploring all the new features during this preview phase! Our website's main search bar will still link to our old catalog until October 2 - when our new catalog will officially replace the old one. Until then, you can find a link to the new catalog under the Browse tab.

Check out the new catalog.
