*Bibliomation System: The Bibliomation System is a group of 68 public libraries (plus some special libraries and school systems) that share the Evergreen catalog system, among other technology. How does this impact your library card and borrowing materials?
- If you have a Southbury Public Library card then you are already added to the system of other Bibliomation Libraries and don't have to get your library card re-added; it would be just like checking out at the Southbury Public Library. You can also have your card looked up with your license or other ID if you don't have it on you because you are already in their system.
- Non-Bibliomation libraries are also very happy to add you to their library system! It usually takes less than 5 minutes.
- If you are at another Bibliomation library, you can see what you have checked out at other Bibliomation libraries.
- If you have ever gotten an item from another library that you picked up at Southbury, it was probably from another Bibliomation library.
