Symphony is one musical act you don't want to miss! Symphony opens May 18 at the Rockport Public Library.

What this means for you... Everything needs to pause for all 36 libraries' collections, patrons and transactions to shift from Evergreen to the new Symphony system. This is a massive amount of data. The system will be switching over between May 15 and May 18. We ask that you return your items before the 15th or after the 18th as we will not be able to check items in during this time frame.   No fines will be accrued during this transition period.   Your account will be frozen for three days, which means you won't be able to hold, renew or see returns removed from your account until May 18.   The library will be open and you will be able to check items out between May 15 and May 18.   We will not be able to place items on hold during this account freeze period. We can note which items you wish to place on hold or renew however, and then, on May 18, process these items for you.   You PIN or Password will default to the last four digits of your phone number.   The Catalog will be searchable, but you won't be able to place a hold on it until May 18. If the item appears to be on the shelf, please call us at 978-546-6934. We can check the shelf and put it aside for you if available.   Again, returned items cannot be checked in until May 18 once the system has fully switched over.
