On September 3rd, 2026, Lancaster County Library System launched a brand-new catalog system at all public libraries in the county!
Migrating to a new system isn’t easy and we are thankful to the Lancaster County Library System and PAils for their help in this move. A lot of things on the backend of our system have changed for staff, but things you see have changed too!
Your Account
- Previous catalog account passwords have not moved over from the old system.
- Your default password for logging into your account is the last four digits of the phone number on your account.
- We strongly encourage you to update your password from the default when you log in.
What do we need from you?
- Nothing will be due from August 25- September 10, please feel free to keep items you have checked out with you until the due date. We cannot check in items for a time and will have A LOT of things to check in; we would appreciate if you could help us space out the thousands of items we will be getting back during that time.
What does this mean for you?
- SMS/text alerts
- An online catalog with a modern look & featured item lists
- More library services integrated into online catalog search results
- Customized email alerts
- Upgrades to your online account, like being able to add things to your reading history
