Over Memorial Day weekend
Leominster Public Library &
all of the libraries in C/WMARS
will switch to a new online catalog and transactions system called EVERGREEN
 

A Few things before we change over...
The library will be closed
Saturday, May 26 through
Monday, May 28
 

You will not be able to access your accounts, place holds, renew items or use some of the library's online tools during the switchover, May 25-29.

On May 29 your password will be reset to your last name
(all CAPS) The first time you log into the catalog, you will be asked to change your password.

Your reading history and wishlists will not be carried over through the migration. If this information is important to you, remember to save it prior to May 25 .

 

When the libraries come up on Evergreen, on May 29th, you will find that Evergreen is more user-friendly and intuitive, especially with regard to searches.
 

When you log into your account, a set of tabs called "the dashboard" will guide you to options like Account Summary, Items Checked Out, Holds, Account Preferences, and Lists.

You will now be able to search both the Central and Western catalogs at once.

You will have the option to create a username to sign into the catalog. The default login will still be your library card barcode.

You will be able to create a history of items checked out and holds placed.

You will have the option to suspend/activate holds (i.e. when on vacation, to read/view a series in order, etc.)

You will be able to create lists of your favorite books to share with other readers.
