New Features
- Smarter searching. Search now works like the rest of the web. Catalog searches use natural language detection to ensure that when you search with keywords like “new music” or “kids movies,” you will easily find what you are looking for.
- Better browsing. Easily browse new titles, award winners, and lists created by library staff and other readers. Ratings, comments, and tags help you evaluate and choose the perfect book, DVD or CD from the library's collection.
- Your Library. Personalized. You have the option to rate items, leave reviews, and create and share lists using new personal record keeping tools: My Profile, My Shelves, My Lists, and more.
- Mobile-friendly. The site is now responsive, so it’s an enjoyable experience on any device.
