The consortium which provides area patrons with access to literally millions of new items is going to have an upgrade. If all goes as planned you will see a new library catalog in about five weeks. There have been a lot of people throughout the consortium of 80 library systems working to make the upgrade happen and be as painless as possible.

The LIBRARY CATALOG WILL BE INACCESSIBLE both in the library and online
We will be UNABLE TO PLACE OR ALTER HOLD REQUESTS during this time

From June 3, 2012 until June 11, 2012

We will be UNABLE TO CHECK IN ITEMS or fill any hold requests

You WILL be able to check items out and download online eBooks or audiobooks via Overdrive

Area residents will still have access to more than 6.9 million books and other library materials including a huge media collection of CD's, DVD's, videos, thousands of journals and magazines, as well as numerous online databases.

Users of Carnegie Public Library will have internet access to an enormous collection of digital content that includes eBooks, audio books, audio music and downloadable videos through their online catalog provided by SEO.
