A New Catalog!

Check out our new catalog at richmondlibrary.bibliocommons.com

The new catalog enables you to keep track of your borrowing history, contribute ratings and reviews, create favorites lists or topic guides to share with others, get personalized recommendations, and even catalog your own home library. And each time you create a list or add comments, you are building a better catalog for your community's library!

We'd love to hear what you think!
