Updates on website upgrade

Submitted by admin on February 9, 2010

We're still working on a few issues from our migration to hmcpl.org. The 'My Account' page is still currently disabled. To renew items or place holds, visit our catalog directly. Access to Heritage Quest is back! Go here to learn how to access it from home using RocketSearch.

We're also gradually rolling out new features to help you stay more in touch with your library, including an RSS feed of front-page news and a simplified mobile version of our site at m.hmcpl.org.

Thank you for being understanding while we make this move!
