More on Our New Catalog
As we mentioned last week, the White Plains Public Library, along with all the other public libraries in Westchester, is migrating to a new online system. The migration will take place from Monday, March 11 through Wednesday, March 13.
During this time, the catalog will be offline—you won’t be able to search for items, place items on hold, etc. You will be able to borrow material, but borrowing will be limited to ten items a day for those three days.
Also, if you can avoid returning material on March 11, 12, 13 that would be helpful.
Also, expect impacts on most services for which you use your library card. This includes most databases and all digital collections, with the exception of Overdrive.
 Come Thursday, March 14, we expect to be live on our new catalog with most services restored.
