Please Update Your Library Card!

The ACPL is preparing for a new library system. This system supports most of the functions of the library. Our current system is being phased out by the company that owns it, so we knew we would have to replace it soon. We have decided to join with 13 other libraries in South-Central Kansas to share a system, thereby greatly reducing costs for all of the libraries involved.

To be able to share effectively, we have to get our barcodes in sync with everyone else's. We are currently re-barcoding all of the approximately 40,000 items in the library. We have some wonderful volunteers helping with the project, but we need the help of our patrons too. We would be very grateful if you would come to the library to get a new library card number. It only takes a minute, and we will either have to do it now or ask for all of your information again after we transition to the new system.

Those of you who use the patron reading history feature of our current system will be able to start a new reading history after we start using the new system. We can print your current history for a month or so after we switch to the new system, so please feel free to ask us then.

Thank you as always for your support!
