“Providing access to knowledge and information to inform, educate, entertain and serve.”  

The Evergreen system will be completely down on December 6th and 7th while we upgrade to software version 3.15. The system will go offline late Friday evening (December 5th) and will come back up sometime on Sunday (December 7th). During this time, you will not be able to do anything with your Library account or download from Libby since it can’t authenticate you.

The servers will be offline while Evergreen and IOT staff physically move them from one data center to another. The move will take place on January 31st and February 1st. What does this mean for your library? The Evergreen system will be completely down during this time.

photo of after hours lockersNeed 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.


It's Here! The Evergreen Indiana Library Consortium app is now available!
