Here is some information about our new catalog.  Still have questions?  Call the library at 603-352-0157.

  • Why is there a new catalog?

    We are switching to this updated catalog because it offers some better ways of finding exactly what you’re looking for. The updated catalog will show you at a glance a lot of information about the titles in your search results...easy ways to choose a specific format, place a hold, or explore related titles and subjects.

    The old catalog is always available by clicking on "Classic Catalog" links.

    • What is My Cart for?

      You can save titles to your cart from your search results. View your saved titles by clicking on My Cart at the top of the screen. 

      mycart

      From your cart you can email or print the list of titles.  Please note that your cart will empty when you close your browser!  To save the titles for later, add them to a list in your account.

    • What are My Lists?

      If you wish to save any titles more permanently, you can create a list in your account which will remain available to you until you delete it.  You might create a list of all the titles in a particular series, so you know which one to read next.  Or a list of titles by a particular author, or on a specific topic.  You can also print or email titles from a list.

      To save titles for later: 

      Use the 'basket' icon to first add a title to My Cart

       add to cart

        When you are ready to create or save to a list, go to My Cart at the top of the page or use the 'view cart' option.

      Once in your cart, select the titles you want to save and choose Save to List.
