LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Library is excited to announce the launch of its new online catalog, offering a modern and intuitive experience for library patrons across the county.

The new website provides enhanced search functionality, personalized recommendations, and community-driven features designed to make it easier than ever to explore the library's vast collection.

"Our new library catalog is more than just a list of books; it's the primary way to explore everything we have to offer," said County Librarian Christopher Veach. "I'm so excited to provide a modern, easy-to-use experience that helps Lake County residents find the exact titles they want in the format they prefer and also discover new things along the way."

The new catalog introduces a host of features to improve the user experience:

Smarter searching: Intuitive filters allow patrons to quickly narrow search results to find exactly what they need, in the format they want, including options to filter by reading level for students and parents.

Better browsing: The new platform makes it easier to explore new titles, award-winners, and bestsellers. It also provides related titles and read-alike recommendations to help patrons discover their next favorite book, movie, or magazine.

Join the community: Patrons can now register their library card to create their own lists, rate and review titles, and add custom tags. Users aged 13 and older can choose a personalized username, while those younger than 13 will select a color and animal.

Mobile friendly: The catalog offers a seamless experience across all devices, including phones, laptops, and tablets.

Through the online catalog, users can manage their holds and checked-out titles and request physical item from the Lake, Sonoma, and Mendocino County Library systems to be sent to their local branch for pickup. The catalog also provides access to the library's digital collection of eBooks, eAudiobooks, streaming videos, online magazines, and downloadable graphic novels.

For those who prefer the original layout, the classic library catalog will remain available.
