Follett Library Automation Software

This software enables library patrons to search our catalog by title, author, keyword and subject.

We have two computer stations just for catalog searching. One station is located in the junior/children's section and the other in the adult section. The library catalog is also available on all public access computers as well as at the front desk.

If you are unsure about how to use the catalog please ask at the front desk for assistance. We will be happy to help you!

Patrons with disabilities are welcomed to SCL. We recently remodeled our front desk to accomodate wheelchair access. There is a ramp access to the front entrance and ramp access is also provided at the back of the building to the downstairs conference room. Please call or ask at the counter for more information.

Children's Room

Our children's room is located on the east side of the building. The room has books, recorded books, computer and games and some stuffed animals available. There is a beautiful mural painted by local artist Jennifer Headke and Erin depicting scenes from Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. We request that parents accompany younger children while using the children's room.
