The updated library catalog is live! You can now search the collection, place holds, renew items, and manage your account. The catalog is also accessible by visiting our website homepage. If you have the old catalog saved or bookmarked, make sure to update it so you can continue to access library materials.
The library catalog and account experience will be getting a refresh. The updated experience will make it easier to search, discover, and manage your library account. There may be temporary service interruptions during the transition in August. We’ll keep you informed as the update progresses.
