In the coming months, patrons may see items with an additional status of “Local Hold” in the LINKcat Discovery Layer. In the Mobile app, only the “Local Hold”status displays for these items. Patrons will have to check the full catalog to see if the item is Available or Checked out.

Items with this status are part of a pilot project to temporarily allow only local library patrons access to NEW Adult Fiction titles that their library has purchased.

Items with this status will only fill local hold requests (patron with a Home library the same as the Owning library) or will remain on a shelf at the library to provide walk-in/browse access for local patrons.

Items will have this “Local Hold” status for up to 60 days. After 60 days, items will be available to fill hold requests for patrons from other LINKcat libraries.

The pilot project runs from July 1 through December 31, 2022.You can contact your local library with any questions or comments or submit them on this form: https://forms.gle/NGSmVwokb3u2HtZu5

The library park lot is expanding and will have construction vehicles in the lot over the next few months. While under construction, patrons can still park near the parking lot entrance of the library or in the clinic parking lot next door. We appreciate your patience during our construction.

The library is in search of a new logo and we need your help!

The library narrowed down our logo ideas based on selections from the community. We now have 6 logo options and would like your help in choosing what the new library logo will be. We will again have the logos on the whiteboard in the library to place your votes. If you are unable to come to the library, please call the library and let one of the staff know which logos you like. We are hoping to have our new logo ready to print by late summer. If you have questions, please call the library at 715-325-8990.
