Going Live!

Gowanda Free Library — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 22:53:45 +0000

For the past year and a half we’ve been working hard to get our library collection in the automated system. Now we’re pleased to announce we will be going live in mid-February!

What does this mean?

It means faster check-in and check-out.

It means faster, more efficient service. When you ask “What else do I have out and when is it due?” we will be able to check with a few clicks.

It means staff can spend less time on data entry and more time on YOU!

It means patrons will be able to access free online audiobooks and ebooks from the Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Library System when they receive their new card # and PIN!

It means you will be able to check our catalog, and nearly the entire System’s catalog holdings and be able to request items at your own leisure to pick up at the System library of your choice.

There will be a bit of a learning curve, and we beg for your patience as we work out the kinks!

The Library Director has pledged to dye her hair any color you vote on (as long as it’s an actual color we can get!) if the kids read a combined total of 30,000 minutes!

Get those levels turned in!
