I-Card / Courtesy Card needed for checkout

The Online Catalog is now frozen for the upgrade.

Checkout and renewal is still possible at any library circulation desk; however, we cannot access your patron record to look up your borrower ID. Please bring your I-Card or Courtesy Card to check items out.

The request function in the catalog is disabled, and your account information is accurate as of 5pm June 14, but will not reflect items returned or borrowed after that time until the system upgrade is complete.

Many thanks for your patience!
