Happy Holiday Season! As many of you know, the Library participates in a giving program at this time of year. For 2025, we are partnering with our friends at United Way to contribute to their Backpacks for Success program. We will collect school supplies to be distributed to children in need.
Community Goal Reached
Congratulations to our Clermont County Public Library guests. We set a Community Goal to read for 8 million minutes in 2025, and you managed to surpass that goal by July 30! If you’re hungry for a new reading challenge, sign up at your local branch for our Cozy Winter Read, which starts on Jan. 1.
New Website and Catalog
In other exciting news, our new website and catalog debuted this year, making it much easier and faster to find what you’re looking for. Be sure to log in when using the new catalog – when you’re logged in, you can choose a home library branch and the catalog will show availability of the titles you search at your home branch first. You can also save your searches, save your favorite writers, and create and share lists.
From all of us at the Library, wishing you joy and fun this holiday season, and if it gets a bit overwhelming, we recommend curling up with a great read to recharge.
