Library Computer System Will be Down

The library's computer system will be down on March 9th and 10th for maintenance. Patrons must do the following:

- Patrons MUST have a library card with them to check out materials. We will not permit checkout with a form of ID.
- No renewals will be permitted without the actual items in hand and a library card. Phone renewals will not be an option for the two days. In-person renewals ONLY will be permitted.
- Accounts cannot be accessed; therefore, we cannot look up any information about due dates, holds, or fines.
- We will not be able to change personal information or issue new cards.

Internet service and wireless connectivity will not be affected.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
