WE CAN answer technology questions recommend a good book search for an online resource for you help with your account issues We also are answering emails via our “contact us” form on the website daily. NEED MATERIALS TO WATCH, READ OR LISTEN TO? The library’s online apps are always open to you with your library card. This month we are doubling the number of allotted Hoopla borrows to 30 per card! There are also “free” borrows available on Overdrive/Libby, Kanopy, and Hoopla that do not cost you a checkout. For more information please chat with us. IF YOU WANT PHYSICAL ITEMS, you may place holds on the items via our online catalog and they will become available to you after we re-open. If you are worried about too many becoming available at the same time, you can pause holds on a title by title basis, or all of them at the same time. When you are ready to start receiving them, just un-pause the hold and you will regain your original place in the queue.
