LIBRARY COMPUTER SYSTEM TRANSITION

On July 1st, 2026, we changed our computer system that manages the catalog, library accounts, and borrowing activities. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue to navigate this transition to continue delivering library services that meet our community’s needs.

 

What's Changed

  • We have joined the Clinton County Catalog. You now have access to library materials directly from Camanche Public Library, Curtis Memorial Library (Wheatland), DeWitt Community Library, and Lost Nation Public Library.
  • You can log in to your library account, request and renew items, change your password, and look up materials here: Clinton County Union Catalog.
  • Clinton County book deliveries are 2-3 days a week.
  • Your password/pin was changed to the last 4 digits of your phone number.
  • You can still borrow books from any library in Iowa through Interlibrary Loan; just ask a staff member.
  • We cannot provide auto renewal at this time.
    • You can call or email us to renew your items or log in to your account online.
  • In the Libby app, you now have one card, the Bridges library card.
    • You will be asked for your library card number and password/pin to access Libby.
    • View step-by-step instructions below, or ask a staff member for assistance adding your Bridges library card.
  • You can still return items from Rivershare Libraries to us, and we will make sure they get back to the owning library.

 

What We're Working On

  • Phone call notifications for holds and overdue items.
  • Developing a library app and creating a mobile friendly version of the catalog.
  • Providing self-checkout and catalog stations in the library.
  • Updating our public computer printing and payment management.

 

Report Issues

Please report any issues you are having to a staff member in person, by phone at (563) 242-8441, or by email at info@clintonpubliclibrary.us.
