Patrons may now log in to their personal accounts to check item due dates, renew items (if allowed), place holds (reserves), or view any fines that may be owing.
This Basic Catalogue Search link above only enables catalogue searches, and by default, it searches the entire Sitka collection of all member libraries. To restrict the search to just the McBride Library, select "McBride Public Library" from the drop-down box to the right of the text "Now Searching:". You will not be able to log into your library account from this interface, but it will be usable with a dial-up internet connection.
