Aspen is LIVE!

Aspen is LIVE!

There are a couple of things to note:
1. Holds cannot be placed on magazines in Aspen. Holds can still be placed for guests in CarlX or Carl Connect.  There is development to make this an option and we will notify you as soon as it is available.
2. Lists were pulled from CARL.X on Friday, so any updates guests made to their lists after that did not come over. 
3. Print newspapers do not display in Aspen because they don’t have items.

Aspen Updates

• After further review of content from Goodreads, we have decided to not offer Goodreads reviews in Aspen.  We have no options to filter and there is inappropriate content. Novelist and Syndetic information and reviews from several sources (Booklist, Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal) are included.  These can be seen under “More Title Information” when you are in the title page.

United Way's Payroll Deduction

It's time for United Way’s payroll deduction campaign!  

This year, hundreds of thousands of our neighbors will need valuable assistance from the programs provided by United Way's Partner Agencies. The United Way campaign is our chance to make a difference in our communities by helping United Way create lasting changes in people's lives.

In August we made the move to allow Library by Mail guests to place holds on material in branch BM. However, we realized BM guests only had access to a small portion of the Outreach collection at the Service Center. Currently, Outreach consists of three branch collections: Book Centers (BC), Books by Mail (BM), and Outreach (OR).
