Online Catalog
Start Page
- Use the "Quick Search" box to perform a basic search for items. You can search by general keyword, author, title, etc.
- The "Advanced Search" link allows takes you a page where you can perform more complex searches. For example, you could search through only the music CDs.
The advanced search mode also has a “browse”
feature for looking through subject headings or authors in our collection.
- The "My Account" link takes you to a page where you can check due dates and renew materials (see more below).

My Account

it’s due,
as well as what you have on hold and where you are in the holds

You can also renew your books or cancel a hold if you’d like.

Typical Catalog Record
For most of the items in
our collection, you can view a cover picture, and many items have
summaries, reviews, notes about the author or even excerpts (1). In
addition to finding out where something is in the library and if
it’s available (2), the item record also lets you click on a link
to place the item on hold, see other things by the same author or to see other items on
the same shelf in the library (3).

Tips
Kids'
Library- If you use the "My Account Login" box from the catalog home page, you will remain logged in until the browser window is closed.
- You can sign up to receive overdue and hold notices via e-mail.
- If you discover that we
don’t have a book you want, you can use the Request Material link at the top of each page catalog to ask us to look for your item through Interlibrary Loan or
suggest we purchase the item.
- You can use the “Find It Fast” page to search
topically by clicking on pictures. And, for our younger patrons,
the “Kids’ Library” page searches just the children’s
collection through topical pictures.
