We're excited to announce that our new & improved catalog is now live on our website. Here are just some of the benefits you'll experience:

➡️ A more powerful keyword search and simplified search results that group different formats of the same title

➡️ Improved accessibility and a cleaner, more intuitive interface across devices

➡️ Easier browsing to discover materials, including expertly curated booklists

Getting started with our new BiblioCore catalog:

• Since this is a new system, you will be prompted to complete a brief, one-time registration process the first time you log in using your library card number and password.

• After you register, you can log in with your library card number or your username. (Your password will remain the same unless you change it. If you've never changed your password, it should be the last four digits of the phone number you used when you signed up for your library card.)

• Once you create your new login, you can access your account, place holds, renew materials, etc.
