Using the Library Catalog

The library holds a variety of materials for all ages, including books in regular and large print, audiobooks, movies, magazines, WIFI hotspots, and passes to local attractions.

You can browse all of these materials in our online catalog. Once you log in with your library card, you can put items on hold, create reading lists and watch lists for authors and series you like, and manage the items you have checked out.

Use your library card to see local attractions for free! We loan out Potter Park Zoo passes and Impression 5 passes. Each pass is loaned out for one week. The Potter Park Zoo pass grants admission to the zoo for "one household." The Impression 5 pass grants admission for five people.

We loan out WiFi Hotspots for internet access on the go. Hotspots are loaned out for a period of one week and cannot be renewed.
