What is a Saved Search? Why would I want one?

The library catalog allows users to create a search and automate it so that it runs weekly or monthly.  That means, you don't have to miss out on your favorite authors when we add one of their new titles to the catalog!  Set up your search to find subjects of interest (scrapbooking) or particular formats you want (new DVDs) and get an email informing you that the item has been added.  This is your cue to place a hold so that we can notify you when it becomes available.

1. Open the library webpage & click on “my account”.
2. Login with your library card number & password. 
3. Perform a search and  click “save search”.   
4. Name your search and choose the delivery frequency of the email.

Contact a staff member if you have questions or feel free to drop by the library for a demonstration!

Bring Your Library Cards on December 17!

Mark your calendars! We wanted to give you plenty of notice about our system upgrades, which are happening on December 17.

Why is this important? On that day, you must have your library card with you to check out materials. We can only check materials in and check materials out on those days. For just one day, we won't be able to:

Take payments for fines

Look you up by name

Create new accounts

Renew existing accounts

Renew checked out items

Place or process Holds

Why are we upgrading Polaris? The upgrade will let us e-mail your checkout receipts to you, offer you easier renewal features online, and more!
