NExpress Shared Catalog
The McLouth Public Library migrated to a new automation system on February 16th, 2009. Please stop by the library to fill out a new Library Patron Application. Patrons under the age of 18 will need a parent to stop in and fill out the Application to use the internet and checkout library materials. If you already have a library card from another NExpress library such as Winchester or Tonganoxie, you will not need to get another card. NExpress libraries all use the same card.
Book Club
Book Club will meet the second Monday of each month at 6:30 pm. Currently we are reading “Milk Glass Moon” by Adriana Trigiani. Next month we will read “Home to Big Stone Gap” by this same author.
Changes Are On The Way!!
The McLouth Public Library will be changing automation systems mid-February 2009. We will be part of the NExpress Shared System. Patrons will be asked to fill out new Library Card Applications and will receive new cards. The new cards can be used at any NExpress Library. Those libraries include: Atchison, Basehor, Bonner Springs, Centralia, Hiawatha, Lyndon Carnegie, Meriden, Nortonville, Silver Lake, Tonganoxie, Williamsburg, Winchester and Ottawa. Oskaloosa is planning to change to NExpress in mid-February also. One library card will be used for all libraries. If you already have a NExpress card from a different library, you will be able to use it here.
Watch for more updates to follow. We will post when new applications and cards are ready to be issued.
