Bear with Us!
As you may already know, this week we are implementing a new online library system, including a new—and easier to use—public catalog. These systems touch almost everything we do, from ordering material, processing items and adding them to the collection, then lending them or sending items to other libraries to fill holds. During this time we ask that you limit your borrowing to ten items a day. Placing
 holds will need to wait until we are fully back online.
