During this time, certain features and services will be unavailable:

  • Online catalog: Patron functions such as item holds and renewals will be unavailable. Item status (such as Checked Out and On Shelf) may be incorrect. The online catalog will be available in order to find an item's probable location and call number.
  • Holds/Reservations: The Library's system for tracking item holds/reservations will be unavailable. New reservations will not be trapped, although items trapped before September 19 may be available.
  • Fines/payments: The library will be unable to accept payments for fines and lost or damaged items during the upgrade.

Public PCs with access to the Internet will be available.

The library anticipates the upgrade will take 2-3 weeks. The new system will have many new features for your use and convenience. Thank you for your patience during this transition.
