Secrets of the Library Catalog
You probably know that you can use the library catalog to place a hold on any book in our library system for delivery to your local branch.
But, were you aware that you can get an email alert when a new book arrives by a favorite author, or on a subject of interest to you?
You can also create a personal reading wish-list, and, if you like, keep a list of books you've checked out in the past (you can edit or delete these lists at will.)
Find out how by visiting the 'Search the Online Catalog' page.
