Our Catalog is Growing!

Rolling Meadows Library and Wauconda Area Public Library District are joining Cooperative Computer Services (CCS), a group of 34 area libraries that share an online catalog. Sharing resources means our patrons have more materials to choose from when borrowing. While we add Rolling Meadows and Wauconda libraries to CCS, our catalog will have limited services from Oct. 17-20.

The library will be remain open during this transition period. You can check out materials at our Circulation Desk. Our self-checkout machines will not be available. Patrons will be able to use the catalog, but with limited functionality.

Item availability will not be accurate after close of day on Oct. 15, and features such as My Account, renewals, and placing or maintaining holds won’t be available. Access to some electronic resources won’t be possible. Find More Illinois and hoopla will have limited services.

PLEASE NOTE: We will not be able to check any materials back in until Oct. 20. Materials returned from Oct. 17-19 will be checked in as if they were returned on Oct. 20.
