You can now log in to the new Evergreen online catalog with your barcode and the last 4 digits of your phone number. You can view and renew your checked-out items, but please do not place online holds yet. We hope holds will be operational next week, but for now please call or visit your library to request items.

Our circulation system has been switched from the Millennium product we have used since 2002 to an open-source program called Evergreen. Thank you for your continuing patience as we learn the quirks and capabilities of the new system. This change is being organized by Commonwealth Libraries, because this will eventually be a state-wide system. As a result, all libraries will have to share borrowing policies, and they have been pre-set by the organization running the new system (see below for more details). Here are the major policy changes

• Videos and DVDs circulate for 1 week.
• Fines are .25 per day for all items except DVDs (which continue at $1 per day). This means VHS tape fines have been reduced.
• Circulation notices for overdue items will be sent more quickly (7, 14, and 21 days after the due date).
