“Providing access to knowledge and information to inform, educate, entertain and serve.”
I wanted to let you know that the Indiana State Library is scheduling two Aspen catalog re-indexes that will align with the next two library migrations. The second reindex will begin on Saturday, September 27th and should be completed by Monday, September 29th. Remember that these re-indexes sever the connection between Evergreen and Aspen, so Aspen is basically offline. Evergreen Indiana will still be up and running.
There was an unexpected error that caused a reindexing to start today, 9/18/25, this could take up to 40 hours to complete so if you have problems with Aspen, try again at the later date.
There is a new catalog option for finding all the Library’s online and in-house materials: Click on Aspen Evergreen Indiana Catalog.
Need material from the Roanoke Public Library, but cannot get here when we are open? Our solution: introducing “After Hours Pick-Up”. Call us and let us know what to pull for you and we will place in a plastic bag in a secure locker for you to pick up at the time that works for you. The lockers are located right off the parking lot (across from 4th Street) near the “Parking Lot” entrance under an overhang that is well lighted. A code will be given to you to enter your locker. Instructions for opening the lockers will be located on both sides of the lockers.
For more information on the Evergreen Indiana App, ask the Library Director.
