We are part of a consortium of libraries, Library Connection, that uses a common circulation system and public catalog. Many of you currently place holds on our materials from your home PC and, when the item becomes available for you, we call you to come down and pick it up. Our online catalog (iBistro) allows you to log in to cancel holds and check their status as well renewing materials and checking your account.
On July 1, the option of placing holds on books from OTHER libraries in our system and having them sent directly to OUR library became available through iBistro, our online catalog, to all of our library card holders. In other words, you can now order interlibrary loans (books only) through your home PC if you wish. Please keep in mind that our staff is available to handle your interlibrary loan requests as we have always been. The option of placing these holds yourself is an additional service and is not meant to replace interaction with library staff, so try it if you wish, embrace it if you love it, but remember that we are here and happy to serve!
