Both branches will be open and keep their normal hours. While the system is down, you will not be able to search the library catalog either from home or in the library, pay fines or renew your library card. You will, however, still be able to check out materials, apply for a library card and use the public internet terminals. Thank you for your patience!

Often they have already checked out and need a bit longer to finish. While we are happy to do this for you via phone, email, or IM, did you know that you can renew your items yourself online? All you need is your library card number and your password. A password would have been assigned to you when you got your card. If you need it reset, you may use our reminder link, which will email the password to the email address you have on file or you can always contact us and we will be happy to help.

Steps to logging into your library account:

  1. Reach the login screen via our website [picture], our blog site [picture], via the catalog [picture] or go there directly.
  2. Once at the account login page enter your full, 14-digit barcode number in the box labeled Username or barcode:. Omit the spaces.
  3. Enter your password in the box below that and click login.
  4. You should now see your name and barcode displayed with details about your Library card and some contact information.

    5. Logged into My Account screen

  5. Click on the Items Out link to see what you currently have out of the Library and when those items are due.
  6. Click in the box to the left of the titles you would like to renew and click Renew Selected Items or to renew everything you have out click Renew All Items.
  7. Pay close attention to the next screen. It will tell you which items renewed successfully and which did not and why.

Look for more tips coming up…
