In February, the Library launched a new, more interactive catalog. Once you are logged into your own account, you can click on the My PRPL tab to find links a variety of personalized functions from viewing your checkouts and your holds to creating lists of books and adding book reviews. You can even pay your fines online!Of course you can use it to find your favorite books, CD’s, movies and more, but now, there are interactive features which allow you to keep track of what you’ve read, what you want to read and to read reviews from professional library resources and from other readers, like you. Here’s one reader’s review of Kathryn Stockett’s The Help.

So, take a look at the new catalog by going to www.parkridgelibrary.org/ and then selecting the Search the Catalog link from the left-hand menu. Explore and have fun.
