  6. You can search the catalog in two ways: Basic or Copy Categories
    • For Basic use the tabs across the top to search by title author, etc.  If we have the book you entered, you can click on details for more info.  On this screen is a Hold It option (right side).  That will alert me to get the book and check it out to you.
    • Alternatively, click on Copy Categories. This page lists all the categories we have.  Most patrons know if they want to read fiction, mystery, etc., so by selecting the category you want, and clicking on view option you will see all the corresponding material.  These can be sorted to title, author, date and type.  The default sort is by title.  To see details (brief description of the plot, etc.) use the Hold It option, which will alert me to get the book and check it out to you.
