"I love the library...I also love that I can renew and put books on hold online.  This is a huge convenience for me."

Finding Books You'll Love Just Got Easier

Three new features in the library catalog will make managing and personalizing your online account easier. Now, you can:

ComputerUserEmail Preferred Searches

Would you like to receive emails whenever a new book by your favorite author is added to our collection? How about books on your favorite time period, style of cooking, or a hot new fitness trend? With this feature, you will receive emails about recently added materials that match your preferred search criteria.

Create Wish Lists

Did you ever wish for a library wish list? Wish granted! You now have the ability to create wish lists from your library account, so you can keep track of the books and movies that interest you and check them out at a later date.

Freeze Holds

The catalog now allows you to "freeze" and "unfreeze" your holds from your account page. What does this mean? Without losing your place in line, you can "freeze" your hold so that it won't arrive at a time that is inconvenient to you.
