Columbus Day closing

In honor of Columbus Day, the Rowley Public Library will be closed on Monday, October 8. We will resume normal hours beginning Tuesday, October 9.

Getting to know our new catalog

If you use our catalog online or here in the library, you will see that it looks different.  We are excited about many new features that the new catalog offers.

For an example, if you use the drop-down FORMAT menu, you can easily identify the type of material that you are seeking, such as a DVD or book that bear the same title. You may either limit your search or leave on "All Formats" to get the whole picture of what is available.

We hope the advent of the new catalog will help us to serve you better.
