News From The Cannon Libraries

 Things are progressing beautifully at the Adams Memorial Library addition and remodeling project. This past week saw the front yard cleared to ready it for new landscaping. The main entrance to the library will be on the side of the building that faces the fairgrounds. We expect to see the new and spacious parking lot completed very soon, too. Thanks to all of our College Street neighbors who have put up with the crowded conditions these past months. Thanks also to all of you patrons who have managed to park a little further away and still come to use the library.
 
We are getting used to the new automation system slowly but surely. There will be a service interruption for access to our card catalog from about 10 pm on Saturday, December 8th through about 2 pm on Sunday, December 9th. The servers for the system are being moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. The online catalog will not be available during those hours and you will not be able to sign on to renew items or place holds. Tennessee Electronic Library and READS will still be available.
 
If you haven’t tried out the new catalog and established an account, please try it out. You can access the catalog from our website, www.cannoncolibrary.org. Put your library card number on the user line and put the word, “userpass” on the password line. You will be asked to create a new password secret and only for you. That’s all it takes to access your account. Remember to keep your card safe and your password secret.
