It's happening! Our catalog is changing THIS WEEK! Don't panic, but DO prepare. Download those eBooks and eAudiobooks now (just in case), and make sure you have your library card in hand if you want to check anything out. We'd also appreciate if you consider not bringing your items back until after September 3. (In thanks, we'll waive any overdue fines on items that are returned between the 3rd and the 13th.) We can't wait to keep serving you in our newest era! ✨
