Here's how to use our new Library Catalog and the CLEVNET services.

CLEVNET Library Catalog.

Read the Welcome to New Members from Trumbull County Libraries Page from CLEVNET!

On Monday, October 3, 2011 the Girard Free Library officially joined CLEVNET, a consortium of 37 library systems across 10 counties in northeast Ohio.  This includes the Cleveland Public Library—one of the largest research libraries in the country.  Our patrons will now have access to over 10 million items and more than fifty new databases, as well as the Ohio EBook  service.  You will be able to check out and return CLEVNET books, videos, and music at any library in the consortium.  In addition, the new library catalog will be more interactive, including social networking features. Loan periods on many items will be longer, and placing holds on what you want to read will offer expanded options.

Sharing technological costs and using volume discounts through CLEVNET will allow Girard to make even more efficient use of taxpayer funds.  The library will be able to greatly expand its collection but remain locally-controlled and community-oriented.  Our patrons will still use their Girard library card and get the same great service they’ve come to expect.

 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OUR EBOOK READERS:

 As of  November 1, 2011, you will access EBooks through our Girard Free Library - Library Catalog or CLEVNET link. Click on the eMedia tab.
GOOD NEWS for KINDLE owners! You can now download EBooks from the Ohio EBOOK Project, Overdrive.com, onto your Kindle EBook readers!  

 

For answers to your reference questions just click on the KnowItNow 24 X7 link  to ask your question. A trained, experienced Reference Librarian will give you real-time answers and assistance on the web! 

Patrons using the Internet in the Girard Free Library are expected to read and follow our Internet Use Policy

The library's internet connection is brought to you by the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). The website is called the Ohio Web Library.
