March book display: Women in STEM

Our next book display is "Women in STEM!" We have a great collection of books about this topic, so make sure to stop by and see what's available. Can't come to the library? Look at our virtual book display guide. We're including ebooks on the guide, which you can check out without physically coming into the library. 

Curious about the next book display for April? Our next display is called "We're Still Here: Indigenous Experiences." This display will feature Native voices, topics, and experiences, and highlight how Native communities are a vibrant and active part of society.

Achieving better results when requesting library materials

Last summer, the library switched to new behind-the-scenes library software. We have seen some fantastic benefits to that, including single-serve log on and the ability to save searches and favorites. However, consortially, we have had problems with some requests for I-Share materials not processing correctly.

As the software manufacturer works to resolve this issue, here's the easiest work around:

• 1. Make sure you are signed in.
  2. When you wish to request something, conduct your search using "ALL I-SHARE Libraries" instead of "Tredway Library Resources" or "Everything". This will only reveal items that are available for requesting.
