Click the search bar on the top of the screen and type in what you are looking for. It is set to automatically search by All Headings, this includes title, author, subject, and notes.

Using All Headings, you can type in a combination of the title and the author to quickly find what you’re looking for. As an example typing “private patterson” will find all of James Patterson’s Private series.

Is it Available?

To see if the item you want is available for checkout, look beside the cover art where it reads (# of # available). If it is (1 of 1 available), that tells you that the library has one copy and it is currently available.

From here you can also place a hold, add the item to a list, view details, and show the location of the item.
