LINKcat Help

New! In early September 2022, LINKcat libraries began checking out complete seasons of television series in one package, starting with new titles, and eventually expanding to existing titles. Learn more about searching for TV series.

LINKcat libraries continue to adjust services as COVID-related conditions change. We encourage you to check your library’s website for the most up-to-date information. Learn more about curbside pickup and other library services.
