A New Catalog Experience
 
Evergreen Indiana libraries are looking fresh this spring with a major catalog upgrade. This change to how our materials are discovered and displayed will make it easier than ever to spot new arrivals, borrow digital materials, and locate all we have to offer.
 
We can’t blame you for diving right in, but don’t forget to check… 
 

Thank You, Volunteers 
 
National Volunteer Week is the perfect time to shout from the rooftops about our best asset.
Our volunteers are such a great representation of our community; they come from different age groups, backgrounds, interests, and goals. But – the Library is something they all have in common. From providing reader input in the Teen department to decorating to helping customers in the Book Cellar, we love how our Library brings people together and are grateful to our volunteers for gifting us with their time and talents.
