New Items Lists Now Available!
We're happy to announce that the much-requested New Items lists are now available! We're always adding materials to our collection. To see what items are newly available, visit the New Items page, which you can find under Books & More in the navigation bar, or by going to the catalog Resources page.
These lists have been created using the new catalog's "Bookbag" feature -- each new month has a set of bookbags with different types of items which are new to our library. If you'd like to learn more about Bookbags and how they work, take a look at the tutorial in the Resources section.
Thanks to everyone who has sent us in feedback and suggestions about how to improve your library experience. If you are curious what we're working on next, take a look at our Roadmap.
