Online Catalog Down Temporarily

Our catalog will be down temporarily (maybe a day or so), due to upgrades that we need to make. If you're trying to find a book, DVD, CD, journal, etc., you can use WorldCat. Enter your search terms in the box, click on the item that interests you, and the results will tell you whether or not we have what you're looking for. To find the appropriate call number, please ask the librarian at the "Ask Here" desk.

Please check back here for more information about the upgrades. If you need assistance, please call us or shoot us an email.
