The new website has a new, easy-to-use interface. All available formats (audiobooks, ebooks, large print and more) are clearly visible. You can place holds or save in a list for later.
Search the catalog:

- In the search results, you can narrow your results using the menu on the left.
- On the item, click “view location availability” to see which branch has the item on the shelves.
- You can place a hold.
- At the top right of the search results, you can also save your search for future use.
Place holds:
- Log into your account.
- Using the search bar, find the item you would like to place on hold.
- Select the format you would like and click the green “place hold” button
- Choose your pick-up location from the drop-down menu and click the blue “place hold” button.
- A green banner will appear confirming your hold and showing your place in line.
- To view or manage your holds, click your username in the top right and select “On hold” from the menu.
- On this page, you will see each item you have on hold, it’s status, your place in line, and the pick-up location.
- You can pause, cancel, or change your pick-up location.
Use Shelves and Lists
Organize your reading with shelves and lists. Shelves can be used to track what you’re reading now, what you’ve read in the past, or what you plan to read next. With lists, you can build recommendations or collections around a theme.
Rate and Review Books
When you are logged into your account, you can give books star ratings and leave reviews, too!
