Alexandria is Coming Soon

We are in the process of transferring to a new cataloging program called Alexandria.  What???During this process we will be putting new bar codes on all of the items in the library, as well as issuing new library card numbers.  The staff would like to thank everyone for their patience during this transition, as we are learning how to use a whole new program.  We would also like to ask that you bring in any items that you have checked out, so that we may make sure they are entered in the new database correctly.

While you are in, be sure to check out all the other changes we have been making!
