Kanopy
Due to a major IT infrastructure project to upgrade and modernize the Library’s Integrated Library System (ILS), we encourage Kanopy users to log in to the service prior to Sept. 6 to avoid interruption of this service. Kanopy will be temporarily unavailable for patrons who sign up for a Library card between Sept. 8 and 16. We apologize for the inconvenience.
To learn more about the ILS project – which will improve the Library’s central platform for managing collections, checkouts, patron accounts, and other services – visit our blog.
