The Library's online catalog is scheduled to be offline Friday-Sunday (1-3 Feb), with connectivity restored Monday. We can still help you find materials in the Library, though, so please ask us.If you're at home or at the office and need to know if we have a particular book, you can go to WorldCat.org, search for the title and/or author, input your zip code (68113 for the Library) and WorldCat will tell you if we own it. Then call us and we'll see if it's on the shelf.
WorldCat will also tell you what other libraries in the area own it. Many libraries have their catalogs linked to WorldCat, so you can click on the library name and it may take you to their catalog - which will usually tell you if the book is on the shelf or not.
On using area libraries:
- Active duty military are entitled to free library cards at the Omaha Public Library (including branches).
- Active duty military and their families are entitled to free library cards at the Bellevue Public Library.
- Students at most of the colleges and universities in the metropolitan Omaha area have borrowing privileges at the other college and university libraries. Call the library you're interested in to see if they participate in the program.
