If you like to read the newest titles but are not sure how to find them,
sign up for Wowbrary.
Wowbrary is a program that sends a free email every Wednesday announcing the latest books, movies, DVDs and CDs that we have ordered.
Just enter your Zip Code and then select the Rockport Public Library and input your email address. Next week you will receive the listing of incoming items.
When you see a title you would like to borrow, clicking on the title will take you to the database where you can place a request. You don't have to wait until the item is on the shelves to ask for it!
When the item has been received, catalogued, and checked in, it will go to the first person on the Holds list.
