May - August 2018

DISCOVER OUR NEW CATALOG: LAUNCHING MAY 29 On May 29, the Library will be upgrading to a new shared online catalog and checkout system called CARL. In addition to the features you love about our current catalog, the new system will offer easier searching, more relevant results, a kids catalog, innovative account features, effortless integration with eBooks and eAudio, and a new mobile catalog. In order to complete the upgrade, the Library will be closed Saturday, May 26 through Monday, May 28 to allow for millions of records (both patron and material) to be transferred successfully. In preparation for the migration to a new system, MeLCat services were suspended on April 1, 2018 with a tentative resume date after July 1. All of your holds will transfer to the new system. After May 29, library PINs will be restricted to six or less numbers. Any patrons who currently have a PIN that contains letters or is larger than six numbers will be assigned the last four digits of their phone number. When logging into your account in the new catalog, you will also have the option to create an EZ username and password.

Thank you for your cooperation as we get ready for our new system. We expect it to be a great improvement for our Library and for YOU!

FROM THE DESK OF THE DIRECTORI am excited to start another summer at the Wixom Public Library! In addition to summer reading programs for all ages, we’re also happy to present a variety of events for the Wixom community to enjoy. Highlights include a summer concert with Tonks & the Aurors, a parkour workshop for tweens and teens, a musical morning with Drummunity for kids and a cutting the cord program for adults. We hope you’ll find something of interest to you and members of your family.

In addition to preparing for summer reading, we’ve been busy with building updates to better meet your needs. Updates include a self-checkout machine, more electrical and USB outlets, new study tables, new tablet armchairs, a new teen tech counter and new study chairs. I hope to see you at the Library this summer and that we continue to be your place to read, discover and connect!

- Andrea Dickson, Library Director
