Can You Say Sesquicentennial? 

A New Catalog Is Coming

This Memorial Day weekend, our library network, C/WMARS, will switch to a new online catalog called Evergreen. This catalog will offer many of the same – and some different – features of the catalog you already know. Here is what you should know to prepare:

  • From May 25 through May 28, you will not have access to your C/WMARS Patron Account.
  • When you login to the new catalog on May 29, your old password will not be effective. You will be able to login using your last name in upper case as a password. You will then be required to create a new password.
  • Your current reading history and wishlists will not be carried over to the new system. However, you may export your existing lists or print them from a computer before the switch. Choose “Export List” at the top of your list when logged in; the lists can be sent to an email address or displayed on the computer for printing.

In preparation for these changes, the Library will close at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, May 25 for staff training, and remain closed on Saturday, May 26 during the transition.  We will reopen at our regular time of 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 29.  As always, feel free to contact us with any questions.

About the Library

Since 1862, the Stockbridge Library has a held a special place in the life of the town. The lively side of its days and nights includes warm and casual literary gatherings, readings, art openings and concerts. Even though we are a thoroughly modern library – with a growing collection of DVDs to borrow, and computers and WiFi for patrons to use – the Stockbridge Library is also still a place to be with books. Come on in, pick one off the shelf, and sink into a comfortable chair in the Bement Room. Or borrow books from any library in the Western Massachusetts C/WMARS network – by using this website at home or on a computer at the Library. We look forward to seeing you.
