Enhanced catalogue features offer new ways to discover your next read (or watch, listen, experience!). Here are four new features to explore as you browse:
Please try out our new catalogue using the search bar below. If you're not sure what to search for, try looking up your favorite book. Once you're inside, explore the new features and log into your account.
1. Lists Galore!
Having trouble finding that perfect book inspired by the streaming series you just binged on? Ready to share your horror movie knowledge? Want to start reading manga but not sure where to start? The new catalog offers staff and users the chance to browse and share lists of recommendations, read-a-likes and more. Library card holders can curate content via lists to help you find the items you want from popular to more obscure. These lists are not limited to staff and anybody with a Library card can create a list based on their interests.
2. Review and Comment
Bond with like-minded readers or find out if that 800-page fantasy novel is worth it. Our new catalogue gives readers the chance to review and rate materials in the catalogue. Users can use the comments to review and discuss items to help you in making your selections. Enhanced features include the ability to like and flag comments
3. Tags
Another new feature to be excited about is the ability to search tags or tag materials. Looking for paranormal fantasy? Try searching other items with this tag and watch your to be read stack pile-up!
4. Community Contributions
The Library is something we do together! The new catalogue provides a digital space where we can geek out about our interests, connect with other readers and find exciting additions to your local library all from your device. Anybody with a library card can share their favorite quotes, offer a review or even write a summary (no spoilers please!).
5. What You Need to Know About Privacy
This catalogue has a lot of great features that allow you to share what you’re reading, watching,
and loving from the library. But before you get started, it’s important to understand what you’re
sharing with everyone else, and what is being kept private. Make sure you review your Privacy
Settings as soon as you create your account.
Always Private:
• Current checkouts, holds, and fines
• Your PIN/password
• Borrowing History, if you’ve enabled it
Public Activity that can be made Private:
• Your activity feed, which includes all comments, ratings, and likes.
• Any books that you add to your Completed, For Later, or In Progress
shelves.
Your Activity Feed defaults to being public, but you can make your
entire feed, or selected items on your feed private, if you’d like to.
For help with your Privacy Settings, please speak directly to branch staff.
We’d be happy to help!
