🚧✨ Big changes are happening! ✨🚧
While we've been working up to this for the last couple of weeks we are NOW in the middle of switching the library software and while we make the magic happen behind the scenes, there are a few temporary changes:
📚 No new library cards until June 8
📚 Interlibrary loans are filling in the gaps of no longer getting Rivershare holds—items we don’t own may take a little longer to arrive
📚 Our online catalog isn’t up-to-date right now. That will change once we are a part of the Union Catalog.

Thanks for your patience while we turn the page to this next chapter 📖

We should be a part of the Clinton County Union Catalog come June 9!
